My only thought from an engineering standpoint would be that the NIT games are held in college or NBA arenas where the system is already in place so it is not so much a cost issue as it is an infrastructure issue.

For the NCAA tournament they are held in some unique places such as Cowboy Stadium, and the Georgia Dome where the system is not already in place. Maybe it is too difficult to get the hardwired aspects of it in place or takes too long?
