We are very likely getting an invite.

The site NIT Bracketology who puts more comments into this than anybody should, as of yesterday gave at larges to Boston College, Minnesota, NC St, Washington, Appalachian St, Florida St and LSU.   That's how wide the field will be for P6 teams.
 
I'm not sure if you fully comprehend the changes to the NIT - its far from all NET based.

- NET only selects 12 of the 32 teams.  The rest is still resume based.
[B]- Since the NIT dropped the "auto-qualifier" for small conference regular season champs, that opens up about 10 spots from prior years (perhaps a few more)
- The NIT will basically become the P6 invitational.
- NIT Bracketology has 23! of the 32 schools in the NIT being from the p6[/B]

Since there are typically about 14 schools in the NCAA tournament that wouldn't be good enough for either the NCAA or the NIT, if not for the NCAA auto-bid that typically means the top 86 schools get in one of the tournament.

Our NET is 88, but its much easier to find teams above us with poor resumes, than vice versa.

This will be my only post on this topic - not worth more time arguing for this particular tournament.
