Isn't there some NCAA rule that bars Mississippi schools from hosting any NCAA tournaments because of the State flag?

Yes. But it is a weak and supremely illogical rule. Remember, it's the NCAA we're talking about. They're ONLY principles are a fierce inconsistency and fatuous preference for political correctness.

For instance, Ole Miss can host super-regional NCAA baseball tournament games because these games don't take place at 'prearranged' or 'predetermined' sites, whereas a Mississippi school can't host NCAA basketball tourney games, as happened last year when MSU had to travel to Birmingham to play a home game in the Coaches v. Cancer classic.

The NCAA's policy on this count is ridiculous any way you look at it.
