Cuomo order against defunct NC bathroom bill means swim team must stay in another state

Student-athletes from a group of colleges in upstate New York may be at a disadvantage at this month’s NCAA Division III Swimming Championship in North Carolina because they'll have to stay in another state, thanks to an executive order by Governor Andrew Cuomo enacted in 2016.

Aren’t the students paying for it themselves? Ignore Andy and stay in NC.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. We all have our moments, and many articles are challenging to decipher.
