In addition to using three rules from last season - international 3 point line, NBA free throw lane width, and shot clock resetting to 20 on offensive rebounds - the NIT will also experiment with fouls and free throws:
Team fouls will reset at the 10-minute mark of each half for the purpose of determining free throws and one-and-one free throws will be eliminated. Teams will shoot two bonus free throws after the fifth team foul of each 10-minute segment. Additionally, teams will be awarded two bonus free throws after the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining in each half if that foul occurs before the fifth team foul of the segment. In each overtime period, team fouls will reset, and teams will shoot two free throws beginning with the fourth team foul or the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining if that comes before the fourth team foul of the overtime period.
How about lowering the shot clock to 28 seconds.

Interesting move to eliminate one-and-one FTs. Do like shooting FTs after 5th foul instead of 7th though.
Sort of surprised they just don’t go to four ten minute quarters instead of the mid-half re-set. Hmm…

I like the 1 and 1s, adds drama.
Eliminating one and ones will mean more opportunities to win chicken!
