Florida International will pull out of the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament unless tournament organizers allow FIU to open with Ohio State instead of North Carolina, as the Golden Panthers had expected.
FIU officials were equal parts incensed and stunned when they received an e-mailed press release of the Tar Heels' schedule, listing Florida International as the season opener. Athletic director Pete Garcia said the school had been approached by the Gazelle Group, the tourney organizers, about switching its opener from the Buckeyes to the defending national champions but refused.

Listen Isiah, regardless if you play UNC or Ohio State you are going to lose and pulling out of a tournament called Coaches vs. Cancer is also a terrible idea.
Isiah Thomas at this point is a small fish in a big pond when it comes to college basketball. he is known for destroying franchises and being an all around terrible person. He has absolutely no leverage when it comes to this demand. I hope the NCAA laughs about it, and just tells Isiah to shut it.
