In what year did the NCAA overtake the NIT as being the more prominent of the two? Lots of folks just assume the NCAA has always been the big dog but that's not the case.

I'm going to say 1953. The point shaving scandals whether all acused were guily or all allegations were as severe as alledged, New York City basketball was off limits for many schools and the appeal of the NIT went by the wayside.
Even though the NIT remained a viable tournament,no SEC team played in it again until 1969.
