How does U of Chicago get to host with an 18-7 record, pool C bid and 34 NPI?

Because Illinois Wesleyan women's basketball are hosting.

St. Johns got jobbed because Chicago is within 500 miles of all three schools in the pod, St. Johns is not.

I guess the good news is St. Johns often does not do well with home court advantage. Still, I'd have liked the opportunity to attend a game.

The NCAA is all about that 500 mile radius for making pairings, and has been for decades. Carnegie Mellon out in Pittsburgh has traveled to play NCAA tennis at UChicago multiple times over the years. All about saving costs on the flights.
UChicago's central location in the D3 landscape makes them ideal to host NCAA postseason in many sports. Being a major metro hub means anyone can get there.

Will video streaming be free or are they requiring ESPN+ like football?

All streams will be centralized on ncaa.com/champs-pass and free the first two weekends. The Final Four will be on ESPN+.

Glad I didn't have to pay to watch the Johnnie game last night. I still have motion sickness this morning from the camera work.
