Too little too late

Just a couple days ago the Louisville Cardinals Men's Basketball team won the NCAA Men's National Championship and their Women's Basketball team was in the NCAA Women's National Championship game. So for support the Men's team wanted to make the trip from Atlanta, where the Men's National Championship, was held to New Orleans, where the Women's was held. But they were originally denied the waiver to travel there by the NCAA because it would be considered an "improper benefit". Not too long after the NCAA changed their mind and agreed that they would allow the Men's team to make the trip. But they made this decision the day of the Women's game so it was too late because the team had already made the trip back to Kentucky.
