The Bible College NIT (National Invitational Tournament) is an annual men's college basketball tournament held each year in late-February or early-March. Formerly known as the Small Bible College NIT, the tournament is held to give small Bible colleges of less than 300 on-campus students a competitive national championship. The schools involved consider it as "the kick-off to march madness". Generally, six to eight schools compete in the tournament each year. The winner is recognized as the Bible college national champion. The site of the tournament is rotated between several schools.
