The NIT "auto" qualifiers are the First 4 out as announced by the NCAA as well as 2 from each of the "Power 6".
Particularly sucks this year where just 11 of 32 #1 seeds won their conference tournaments.
A10 gets Richmond, Loyola, VCU and St. Joe's in the field.

I obviously haven't been paying attention to new developmens for the NIT. Even if the A10 gets 4 bids, I agree with you that the process sucks.

4 A10 teams under the new selection process isn't bad.
Wake Forest is going as well. They're playing Appalachian at home Wednesday.
Pitt declined a NIT Invitation.

Hard to beleive that Xavier got an NIT bid. I like Xavier but good grief, that was the worst team they have had in thirty years.

Xavier is 16-17. They're playing at Georgia, which finished 17-16.
None of the A10 teams in the NIT is hosting a game. Richmond plays at VPI.
High Point is playing in some Tournament, not the NIT, and might be hosting a game. WGHP had a tease about it, but I wasn't going to watch the rest of their news to figure out who/where they were playing.
High Point is playing in the CBI and is the 1 seed. They have a first round bye. Other teams in the field are Evansville and Chicago State. The games are in Daytona Beach.
