... the best remaining top ranked ACC as well as SEC teams not dancing, as well as top-ranked teams whose Dance autobids were stolen in the conference tournament from top 12 conferences (based on KenPom) are outright shoo-ins to the NIT.

In addition, the regular season conference champions from the other 18 conferences whose Dance autobids were also stolen in the conference tournament are also outright shoo-ins, provided that their average rank across all selected rankings is 125 OR better. The rest of the NIT, if there are still any, falls into the at-larges and voluntary teams who have played well enough but are not good to dance.

Do you think there will be less "back-outs" from the NIT moving forward?
