Bad news, everybody. It turns out they don't make an NIT bracket pick'em program.
That means we're going to have to slum it up and pick NCAA Tournament games with the rest of the basketball plebians out there.
The good news is that we've got a new program to run. SBNation has teamed up with Realtime Brackets, a new pick'em format that gives you the chance to change your choices once your bracket has busted. So if you make the fatal mistake of betting big on Gonzaga and man-child Kyle Wiltjer, you can shore up your defenses after North Dakota State shocks the world (make a note of it: 2014-15 belongs to the Bison).
As for prizes...well, we don't have any. At least not yet. We're still looking for a couple of sponsors - and if you're interested in donating some Vandy swag to the cause, let us know. Otherwise, it'll just be bragging rights and the opportunity to prove that you're smarter than the AoG writing staff.

You'll have to sign up - you can do so via facebook or using your email address - but from there you should be good to go. Then, feel free to drop into the comments, let us know your entry name, and then explain why you are the king/queen of simulated gambling.
