I’m not even sure that there are postseason tournaments outside of the NCAA, NIT, and CBI. I’d rather give the staff more time to fully focus on the portal and start the offseason early than play in a postseason tournament most of us have never heard of.

Rather drop any monies for a pay-in tournament into the NIL slush fund.

I can think of better uses for $30K. At least in 2015, the Aces got some home games. This thing isn't set up for fans, unless they are suckers for manufactured tourism. |

It appears from the articles posted above in the opening post that you have to have a .500 record for the CBI tournament- so we would not qualify (barely).

Save the budget for next year and beyond. With the NIL out there we need to be competitive in that arena and spending money from any account on any post season pay to play tournament is a waste of money in my opinion. Not to be negative but we need to move on to next year. The team was much improved and more competitive than last year but we have a long way to go to be playing on Sundays in St Louis.

Not to warp this too far, but UE spending money on a tournament would come out of a budget, not from a NIL fund.

While I would love to see another game, I agree that the money could be better served going toward next season. With that said, here is an excerpt from an email Logan sent to the STH's.
Your Aces finished the season with 16 victories is awaiting the potential opportunity for postseason play.
Quote From Coach Ragland About Potential Opportunity For Postseason Play:
"We are going to talk about it and see what is best for us as a team," "Leaving things better than you find them is important and the respect this group has earned from other teams in the Valley, around the country, officials and fans around the country has been impressive. Just to be talking about it is a great thing for our program."

I hope they show the same intensity against whoever they draw as they did in the conference championship. No reason to believe they won’t but the CBI wasn’t their goal.

Official announcement from UE.
I don’t mind giving the senior class a few more games. Hope they make the most of it though and we don’t pay $30k to be one and done.

Looks like the Aces want to play a few more games. I'm here to cheer for them. 5-27 last year. Post season tourney this year. Go Aces!

This feels like the right thing to do. Looking forward to extending the season. I could see us doing very well in a tournament like this.
