The NCAA rejected the appeal during the NCAA tournament.[5]

Major rule changes
Beginning in 2009–10, the following rules changes were implemented:
- The NCAA reduced the amount of time that college underclassmen can test the waters for the NBA draft and still retain their college eligibility. As of this season, players have until early May (rather than mid-June) to decide to return.[23]
- Secondary defenders must now establish their position outside of the zone between the backboard and the front of the rim to draw a charge.[24]
- If a player is injured and unable to shoot his own foul shots, the replacement shooter must be chosen from the players currently on the court.[24]
- Instant replay may now be used to determine flagrant fouls.[24]

National Invitation tournament
After the NCAA Tournament field was announced, the National Invitation Tournament invited 32 teams to participate. There was much speculation during the NIT that the NCAA Tournament would expand to 96 teams and that 2010 could be the last NIT after 73 years. (Ultimately, the NCAA decided to expand only to 68 teams, keeping the NIT intact for the near future.) Dayton defeated defending National Champion North Carolina 79–68 in the Final on April 1. The Flyers' Chris Johnson was named tournament Most Outstanding Player.
