Start another association, one that takes a percentage of TV and concessions and pays for athlete expenses, and bonuses for academic achievement.
NC is in the final four this year. What is the NCAA going to do to them that matters? In any case, I’d guess a lot of people whose teams lost are now rooting for NC because of the Social Justice Warriors.
Sheriff Taylor is spinning in his grave.
Sheriff Taylor might be spinning but Andy Griffith would have been fine with it. Griffith = very left wing!
I have had people who knew Griffith tell me he was more like the “Lonesome Rhodes” character then the “Sheriff Taylor” character.

Please North Carolina stand up for common sense and decency. Stand up for the majority of your citizens. Tell the NCAA to piss off! Actually you should sue the NCAA for trying to subvert the democratic process, the rule of law and the will of the people. What right does this overly ego inflated organization have to tell a State what legislation it can or can not have?
There’s a first or second round NCAA basketball tournament event in a NC city about every other year.
The ACC is also getting in on the act and blowing smoke that they’ll avoid NC in the future for any of their tournaments which is funny since their HQ is in Greensboro.

Insanity! They want to punish N.C. for knowing the difference between a boy and a girl.
Since so many Sports Franchises have gone political, it is high time to ABOLISH their Anti-Trust Exemption.
The NCAA makes an ENORMOUS amount of money, but does not pay any tax under the exemption for a charitable organization.
If the NCAA is going to start participating in political activities, shouldn’t it lose its tax exemption?
If the NCAA lost its tax exemption and started paying taxes, it would help reduce the federal deficit.
Install cameras in the showers, locker rooms, and coaches offices and broadcast everything LIVE on TV and the big screens in the GYM.
