Deserving?
Teams who win their conference in the regular season then get upset in their conference tourney get an automatic NIT bid (if they don't get an at-large NCAA bid). I'd argue many of those teams are more "deserving" than the team who got hot for 3 days and received the bid to the big dance.
But, of course, conference tournaments aren't about "deserving'. They're about money. Without the auto bid, who would show up?
