Seems to be some misinformation. Our hotel partner did not fulfill their contractual obligation, so our team made adjustments as fast as possible to remedy the situation - and the desired additional rooms being requested . While delayed, we made efforts as fast as we could.
Lots of misinformation here.
We had a local hotel contracted for months - they did not hold up their end of the agreement and never blocked the rooms, per the agreement. We found this out at the same time Ole Miss did when we tried to contact the hotel as well and got no response.
Ole Miss also requested 25 additional rooms above the NCAA-required block - not uncommon, but there was no shot that the hotel which already didn’t block the contracted rooms could then also come up with 25 more.
In order to accommodate the larger room block request, we suggested another hotel option that had more availability + a sister hotel in a shared parking lot. This provided much more than the rooms being requested. This provided 34 rooms at one hotel and additional as at the adjacent property.
This was solved within 6 hours of being made aware of the issue.
