After the Southeastern Conference took a stand against the state flag in Mississippi on Thursday, the NCAA Board of Governors took it a step further on Friday.
The NCAA announced that it is banning all of its championship events from being in the state as long as the Confederate emblem is included on the Mississippi state flag.
The NCAA had previously only barred awarding NCAA championship sites that were determined in advance of a tournament in states that displayed the Confederate flag.

Screw ‘em. But I’m sure Mississippi will bow down to the revolutionaries just like everybody else. Plenty of cowards these days.
Another sports agency that can disappear without my
caring.
What championship events are held in Mississippi anyway?
Hats off to ole Miss for standing their ground!
“But I’m sure Mississippi will bow down...”
Mississippi will not bow down, they will fold their flag.
So no college sports until their state flag is changed?
This is STUPID!
“Mississippi’s public universities put out a joint statement Friday in support of the NCAA’s decision..”
Baseball regionals and NCAA tournament games.
Ole’ Miss and Mississippi State are on board with the NCAA decision.
Thank you Nikki Haley
The left wants to crush the idea of a southern identity, and they’re being successful.
I’m waiting for them to announce separate seating sections for black and white fans. The white sections will have no seats, just little wood blocks to kneel on.
Not bad...not great, but not bad. Mississippi State University wants to change the flag, but at Ole Miss you're going to have a civil war...you have the Olde Guarde Lost Cause The South Shall Rise Again's vs. the Communist flagburning gungrabbing babykilling Antifa's. If they have football this season, the Grove could resemble Stalingrad.
Why is BLM destroying the main way, except street dealing, that its constituents can make big money?
Ole Miss won’t even be “The Rebels” for much longer.
Probably because any Black person who is making it in our
society reveals the big lie that their folks can’t make it
here.
Gotta destroy them so they are dependent on the Left.
Why does the NCAA have a monopoly?
Mob rule moves forward as fast as ever. Tell the NCAA to kiss your a$$ Mississippi.
“Why does the NCAA have a monopoly?”
The schools is Mississippi always have the option to withdraw from the NCAA and form their own organization.
However, it appears the schools in Mississippi are supportive of the NCAA policy.
