Will Ohio State accept an NIT bid? We’re one step closer to knowing now.
Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch reports that Ohio State returned the paperwork needed for the Buckeyes to play in the NIT. From Jardy’s report:
Ohio State has returned a signed copy of the NIT postseason agreement for 2017, the NCAA confirmed to The Dispatch.
The agreement is sent to nearly all Division I men's basketball teams starting in late January. Teams that return a signed agreement can change their minds about playing in the NIT, but an NCAA spokesman said such decisions are rare.
