After Sun Belt commissioner Keith Gill and NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt extended South Alabama an invite to the NIT [National Invitation Tournament] late Sunday night, it was rescinded an hour later in an embarrassing moment for the NCAA and a heartbreaking one for the South Alabama players.

Dick Vitale is the latest to offer his opinion of the NIT rescinding an invitation to the South Alabama Jaguars. “This so embarrassing,” the basketball analyst posted on social media. “I feel really bad for South Alabama - heartbreaking for their coach and players.”
