What's this?

Women's NIT is a private enterprise

As such, they can run the tournament the way they want. The men's NIT is owned by the NCAA today., after settling an anti-trust lawsuit in 2005 by buying the men's NIT.

The women's NIT is owned by Triple Crown Sports, Inc. As such, I imagine they lack the funds to profitably host the championship in New York.
