The National Collegiate Athletic Association, a cartel controlling the multibillion-dollar college athletics business, may be painting itself into a corner. Probably because it is a creature of the higher education industry that has gone off the deep end in its commitment to far-left politics, the NCAA is taking an extreme position on transgenderism and apparently seeking a confrontation with the State of Florida if it passes a law currently under consideration that would limit participation in women’s sports to biological women.
SNIP
Florida appears to be the trigger for the NCAA’s statement and is the principal object of itss implicit threat to move championship games if its transgender diktat is not followed, as Andrew Atterbury reports in Politico:
The NCAA is “closely” keeping tabs on states including Florida that are moving to ban transgender athletes from playing girls’ sports, warning in a statement Monday that locations that don’t treat all student-athletes with “dignity and respect” could lose out on hosting championship games.
While not mentioning Florida by name, the statement from the NCAA Board of Governors comes just one day before the House is slated to take up its proposal clarifying that female sports teams are specifically for “biological” women and girls. State lawmakers were quick to criticize the NCAA’s ta “When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected,” the NCAA Board of Governors wrote in a statement.
Florida’s former Governor. now Senator Rick Scott is not cowering in fear as 2 tweets yesterday demonstrate:
The @NCAA likes to threaten FL and other states. Well, here’s a threat to the NCAA – the American people are not going to allow biological males to compete in women’s sports.

I want to see the WNBA over run with males, not just women that look and act like males
Lowlife jerks of the NCAA want DeSantis to notice them so 'elite' butt boys in the press will write stories about them. Creepy attention hogs.
The following NCAA cartel-regulated sports can also be boycotted:
Baseball, Beach Volleyball, Bowling, Cross Country, Fencing, Field Hockey, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Rifle, Rowing, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming and Diving, Tennis, Track and Field (Indoor + Outdoor), Volleyball, Water Polo, Wrestling
That is just hideous!
Yeah, I’m not big on Rubio. Seems too compromised. My comment was about Rick Scott, who isn’t an all-star either, imho.
It isn’t about basketball.
The SEC has the option of pulling out of the NCAA.
“This hatred of women almost looks like it’s being fueled by a certain arab religion.”
I haven’t seen that. Typically, they go with the flow regarding Leftists, at least until it starts to be imposed on their kids, when they push back, and then only in England (so far).
I think it’s more of just plain old Leftists needling our side, to show their power over us, well at least some of us, including Kristi Noem.
Shrivel up and fade to irrelevance NCAA. Bye bye... Good riddance...
My opinions.
After all that mess about Title IX. App State had to discontinue Men’s Soccer due to it and they have the #1 all-time scorer in NCAA history
If not for Title IX, we might have had SEC Hockey. How great would that have been?
Just create a women’s hockey team and fill it with men.
I used to think that abolishing the NCAA would be a great thing. Now I’d rather see the universities destroyed - totally eliminated, to be replaced by something better. They are toxic. That would solve both problems.
I’m completely with you on this. We can’t move forward unless the rot is removed.
“Contrary to what pretty much everyone on here said about her, all she wanted to do is have a bill that separated high school girls from college female athletes.
What she wanted was to give young girls in South Dakota a chance. And now South Dakota has nothing.
She wanted a united front to take on the NCAA to make them capitulate instead of seeing them try to boss everyone around and intimidate them, just like they’re doing now.”
I’m not buying what you are attempting to sell. The South Dakota House of Representatives wasn’t buying it either. The SD Senate is composed primarily of RINO’s that are in the Governor’s testicle lock box. They were momentarily energized by the voice of the people and passed the bill after initially killing it.
The Governor killed the bill with tactics designed to look like the Legislature was the problem. The Legislature did it’s part when certain members refused to override the Governor’s veto and the bill suffered death by design despite three states previously passing identical legislation.
Now unfortunately FL stands in the breach essentially by her lonesome. The NCAA and the National Federation of High School Associations where this S^^t originally germinated need to be crushed by the voice of the people if you believe there are male and female created he them and one doesn’t have the right to be in the others bathroom despite “feelings” to the contrary.
That, over and above the girls and boys sports participation by anyone other than girls and boys competing against those born who they are. The Constitution notwithstanding, the infinitesimally small percentage of those in opposition and their tradition, culture, and Nation destroying ideas need to be silenced before the vengeful hand of God destroys all of us in anger as he has prophesied he would do when we are ripe in iniquity. Just my humble opinion.
You’re not buying, fine. I’m not mad at you. Think what you want.
You don’t know what she’s thinking. Maybe the next time the two of you have some coffee or a few drinks together you can ask her for some clarification.
All I know right now is, girls in high school and below in South Dakota have no protection against some boy wanting to play soccer on the girls soccer team.
She’s the Governor of South Dakota. Her responsibility is to the people of South Dakota.
She doesn’t have nor didn’t have to draw a line in the sand on what would perceived, on the federal level, for anyone. Would it have been nice? Absolutely.
But, she said what she said. She wanted the states for form a bloc to take on the NCAA. A united front. The Governors, Legislatures and states standing shoulder to shoulder against the petty tyrants in the NCAA. Too much to ask I guess.
Don’t you find it amazing that the Left can stand together to protest the sun rising in the east every day, but Republican’s cant unite for one thing.
Right now there should be a bloc of Republican led states, standing together to OPPOSE EVERYTHING coming out of the Harris and CornPop administration. They should have folks in Texas, right now, loading up buses and shipping all those illegals to New Mexico, Denver, California, Nashville, Detroit, Madison, Seattle, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Chicago, NYC, DC, Boston, Beacon Hill, Charlotte, Chattanooga...and those are just a few of the liberal cities I can mention. I won’t even mention places like Hilton Head and Charleston, cells of RINO-Lindsey Graham supporting scum
I think using the same rules the Left has been using against them would work, as well.
Make political affiliation a protected class. Then make sure there is an equal number of liberals and Conservatives at the schools that get public money. Each school has an equal number of folks in administration and the person who heads the state department of education is the tie breaker on any issues that may arise.
Let the liberal professors get shipped off and get a real job.
You’re not buying, fine. I’m not mad at you. Think what you want.
Nor I at you.
Agreement.

Agreement.

Double secret absolute agreement.

Something a number of States were doing and others contemplating and something this State had already had to deal with previously with the so called bathroom bill, and wimped out.
Agreement
Don’t you find it amazing that the Left can stand together to protest the sun rising in the east every day, but Republican’s cant unite for one thing.
Not so amazing considering what is the basis for the oath I have taken about eight times over my eighty some odd years of life. Love of country, and LOYALTY. Sad that it resides where it does and Republican’s are off RINOing or in the weeds on the issue. Loyalty is not even in the Party Platform if I remember correctly.
Agreement obvious once again.

Amazing. Just had a three hour phone call yesterday with my Son on that very issue. He is at his wits end on what needs to be done and appearance is we are blissfully off to the gas chambers or GITMO without a whimper. My contention for the moment is whatever we do, needs to be under the rule of law. My solution at the moment is almost identical to yours with some slight variation. A coalition of States, at least a majority 26 to thirty to do exactly as you suggest and to become the IRS for their citizens.
In the name of State Sovereignty no citizen of any State should be sending money directly to Washington DC. The States need to be controlling the only power DC has and that is the power to blackmail the States with economic success or failure. DC can decide based on population what the States might be “asked” to contribute. This effort needs to be led by Governors and Legislatures to have the strength to succeed. In addition I would suggest that the thirty States consider recalling their Senators to deny the Congress a majority or to deny the consideration of certain potentially disastrous pieces of legislation.
So, once again agreement.
Now all we need is thirty States and their Governors and Legislatures and we could be on the march. I might also suggest that instead of keeping the border crashers in the USA those border States find a way to close their borders difficult as it might be. The invasion needs to be recognized for what it is AN INVASION of OUR country. We the people have a right and obligation to stop the invasion of the country, that the Federal Government refuses to do. They have abdicated their responsibility to “WE THE PEOPLE”.
