Any rumors or knowledge on our interest or involvement in a holiday MTE next season. I've seen some fields announced in the last couple of days.

Hearing we very well may not play in a MTE this year.

Hope that changes because they're good team bonding trips and depending on the tournament you may get national TV exposure. It's also 3 games you don't have to schedule otherwise.
 
So far the Valley has half of the teams participating:
Missouri State
Valparaiso
Drake
Evansville
Northern Iowa
UIC

Teams Not Yet Tied To An Event:​

MVC (6/12): Belmont, Bradley, Illinois State, Indiana State, Murray State, Southern Illinois

This bracket is certainly interesting with bunch high majors and a D2 team:

And one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history is when Chaminade beat Ralph Sampson and Virginia in that MTE.
Man, Virginia doesn't just choke in March. Had to look this one up, that is awesome. Virginia was the top ranked team also.

Chaminade gained increased prominence after the game, which caused the school to cancel a plan to change its name to the University of Honolulu. Chaminade's victory led to the creation of the Maui Invitational Tournament, an annual event in which the Silverswords compete with seven major college teams.[23] As of 2017, Chaminade has won eight games in the Maui Invitational since its creation in 1984.

I know the Wooden Legacy is usually for HM conference teams only, but we have a legit tie-in, so I wouldn't mind playing in that. It's also appears to be here in Vegas for 2023 so I'm a bit biased.

The big problem is usually they only take one team per conference and a lot of our lower tier squads have already snapped up invites to many of the better MM-focused events. We could also be waiting on the group behind the CBI for one of their events that isn't on the link above:
