Louisville has already asked the NCAA about the process of applying to host the NCAA rounds that were moved.

As I said earlier, hello, slippery slope.

[gchs_uk9]

This is a bad precedent to start in my opinion.

 

It's not a new precedent. South Carolina and Mississippi have been denied the opportunity to host pre-selected tournament events due to flying the Confederate flag at the state house since around 2003. South Carolina recently stopped flying the flag and can now host again. So the NCAA has waded into political waters like this before.

I hope this would also mean no more USA Collegiate Baseball games in Cuba, or no more Texas vs. Washington games in China. You know, if Human Rights really mean something.

 

Are those events run by the NCAA?

One final thing. This came from Stewart Mandel of foxsports.com in his weekly mailbag column. Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, his reasoning makes sense:

 

Of more immediate concern for the NCAA is that when it sends a team to one of its own handpicked postseason sites, it takes some degree of responsibility for their experience there. I can understand why it would feel uncomfortable sending LGBT athletes, coaches or fans of those respective teams to a state that enacted legislation directed against them.

However they'll probably accept the colleges' NCAA membership fees and money generated by their conference afiliations with no problem I think.

Don't the colleges have the choice to not be in the NCAA?

[Bengal Maniac]

You make the law , you live with the consequences. No problem from me with this one.

Sure if they don't want a share of the cash cow that is the NCAA.

That's what I was thinking. NCAA is allowed to do whatever they want as a result.
