99.9% sure the NCAA does not assign the NIT games. Appears local/regional assignors handle the first 3 rounds and the Big East handles Madison Square Garden. That's just based on who I see work and where they work.

Perhaps Burr felt the NCAA fees were too low for an official of his calibre and did not apply.
