They were made an offer they couldn't refuse: The NCAA purchased the rights to the preseason and postseason NIT, effectively ending the litigation between the two organizations. Seems like everyone got what they wanted.

So now what's the NCAA going to do with the PNIT and the NIT? I'd like to see a stronger PNIT field, and the NCAA could bend the "one exempt tourney every four years" rule.
