I think you're probably right, but how could you have "found" this, when the teams can only play in one or the other? There's no way to compare what they do in the NIT with what they "would've done" in the NCAA.
I once worked a sort of "consolation" tournament for D3 college teams that got bounced from their conference tourney early. It was like working a scrimmage. Our locker room was next to the losing team's locker room and there was no emotion at all at halftime when it was still a close game.
