====NCAA hosting snub====
Much to the dismay of the team, coaches and fans, despite going undefeated in SEC play and being SEC champions, winning the last 17 of its matches of the regular season, drawing the #2 overall seed in the nation for the 2009 NCAA Tennis Championships tournament and leading the nation in average attendance at tennis matches, Ole Miss was denied being one of the 16 host teams for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament by the NCAA. Ole Miss had been a host for the previous 8 years. Instead, the Rebels were sent - because of a new NCAA travel rule - by the NCAA to [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]] at host site [[LSU Tigers|Louisiana State University]]. Hotel rooms had been reserved in [[Oxford, Mississippi]] and parents had made plans to travel across the ocean (Ole Miss seniors Jonas Berg and Bram ten Berge are from Europe) to see their sons graduate and play tennis. Due to having to play at LSU, the seniors were unable to participate in the regular graduation ceremony with their other graduating senior classmates. However, after beating LSU in the second round of the NCAA Championships in Baton Rouge to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, the pair received their diplomas in a special graduation ceremony Sunday morning May 10. University of Mississippi Chancellor Dr. [[Robert Khayat]] presented the pair their diplomas. The explanation given by the NCAA regarding the hosting snub was that since the regional will be held at LSU, all three other teams could presumably drive. If the regional were to be held at Ole Miss, the Rice players would likely have to fly. Said Ole Miss tennis coach Billy Chadwick:<ref name="clomhost">[http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090428/SPORTS03/90428043 The Clarion-Ledger:UM tennis seeded 2nd, snubbed as host]</ref>
{{cquote|It’s a very hard pill to swallow. The small difference in travel shouldn’t negate what the Rebels have worked for all season — having home court advantage through the NCAA Tournament’s first two rounds. Ole Miss leads the nation in average announced attendance with 582 per match. If you’re trying to grow the sport, it seems very odd that the place leading the nation in attendance that’s also the second best team in the nation doesn’t host.}}

Reacting to the decision by the NCAA, Ole Miss chancellor [[Robert Khayat]] said:<ref name="clomhost"/>

{{cquote|There’s no words that can express the boneheadedness of this decision. It’s truly beyond comprehension. We’re certainly going to be on the phone in the morning with the NCAA trying to find out what the hell happened.}}
