On Septema new format was announced for the NIT Season Tip-Off. The tournament returned to its previous format in 2007 then returned to the 2006 format in 2009. In 2006, the common sites were Charlotte, North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Spokane, Washington. Through 2014, the semifinals and finals had always been held at Madison Square Garden. The first two rounds were held at regional "common sites" instead of campus sites, making the format more like the postseason NCAA Tournament. The tournament remains one of the most well-known preseason tournaments in NCAA Division I men's basketball, along with the Maui Invitational. In 2005, the NCAA purchased the Men's Preseason and Postseason NIT and renamed the November tournament the NIT Season Tip-Off. The tournament, which is a part of the regular season for all participating colleges, began in 1985 as the Preseason NIT, so-called in order to distinguish it from the post-season NIT. 2020's tournament was to be held at Amway Center in Orlando, FL, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused the NCAA to cancel it. The first two rounds are held at campus sites, while the semifinals and the finals are held during the week of Thanksgiving in Brooklyn, NY. The NIT Season Tip-Off is an annual college basketball tournament that takes place in November of each year, toward the beginning of the season. Tennessee, Third Place Game, November 24, 2006
