The NCAA is reducing the fields for the NIT and the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament from 32 to 24 teams, starting with the 2027 tournaments. The change shrinks postseason opportunities for mid-major men's and women's college basketball programs, and the move is being shared widely among college basketball fans and commentators discussing what fewer berths will mean for teams left out of the NCAA tournaments.

Why now: The NCAA's decision to shrink two prominent postseason tournaments affects college basketball teams' postseason chances, prompting discussion among fans.
