2009–10 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team

On Thursday, September 24, it was announced that the Georgia Tech Men's basketball team had cancelled their trip to Canada, which was to take place the weekend of October 2–5, due to concerns over NCAA regulations. The Yellow Jackets were to depart October 2 for Windsor, Ontario to play two games against the {{cbb link|year=2009–10|school=University of Windsor|team=Windsor Lancers|title=Windsor Lancers Men's Basketball team}} and one against the {{cbb link|year=2009–10|school=University of Western Ontario|team=Western Ontario Mustangs|title=Western Ontario Mustangs Men's Basketball team}}. The issue revolved around NCAA rules prohibiting teams from taking trips within 30 days of the official start of pre-season practice. The trip did fall within Georgia Tech's fall break from classes. NCAA regulations allow teams to take an international trip once every four years, but the trip must occur before the 30-day period leading up to the official start of pre-season practice, which this year is October 16. Georgia Tech had asked for and received a waiver from the NCAA, but ultimately decided against taking the fall break trip amid concerns over the regulations.{{cite web
