Hypothetically, say Memphis beats USF and Tulsa, loses in a close one to Cincy. 21 wins and the NIT were to offer a bid. Does the school accept it or decline so we can let Penny go to work?

I do not think our profile under the scenario you describe will rise to the level meriting an NIT bid. You may recall that we did not make the NIT after advancing to the AAC Tourney finals a few years ago and that team had better metrics than our current team. However, I think we would accept an NIT bid if for no other reason than the players deserve it.
