The NCAA bought the NIT last year. As expected, they are making some changes to the NIT.
Most notably:
All regular season conference champions are guaranteed an NIT berth
Teams no longer have to have a .500 or better record
The NIT selection committee includes Dean Smith, CM Newton, and Jack Powers
The NIT field of 40 will be announced on March 12, just hours after the NCAA field is announced
Higher seeds will host games. NIT Final four as always will be at MSG. Play begins March 14.

I hope Dean Smith does not disqualify freshmen from playing in the NIT :)
