Should the Carrier Dome play host to NIT games?

This has been an interesting question that first came to my attention on Monday.

Should Syracuse, and the Carrier Dome, host NIT games when the Orange doesn’t make the NCAA Tournament.

I say yes, but another prominent program refuses -- for whatever reason.

Indiana, who started the 2016-17 season ranked in the Top 10, failed to make the NCAA Tournament and received an NIT bid.

The Hoosiers received a No. 3 seed in the NIT, but decided to play at No. 6 seed Georgia Tech because IU didn’t want to “devalue” Assembly Hall.
