The NCAA is threatening to remove North Carolina from consideration to host championship games for the foreseeable future if the state does not repeal a law regulating public restrooms, locker rooms and showers on the basis of biological sex.
The collegiate sports league will announce championship locations from 2018 to 2022 on April 18, and it said North Carolina will not be among them unless HB2 is repealed.

Was in NC for two trips this year. Hotels are full. I hope they make a wise decision here. I have no issue if they modify the bill, but they should not full capitulate.
How about the NCAA stay out of politics?
Lol- oooh we’re scared now- we might lose revenue- oh wait- Nope Sorry NCAA- NC has been increasing in revenue since the ban- go pound sand
The NCAA can go to hell. Who are they to dictate bathroom policy. I think their tax free status should be REVOKED!! The audacity of those idiots. SHUT UP!!
Bullies. The SEC, Big 12,& Big 10 ought to pull out of the NCAA. Boycott the boycotters.
Sounds like the NCAA is a prime candidate for prosecution under the RICO statutes.
How is this not blackmail or extortion, perpetrated by an organized criminal enterprise known as the NCAA?
Also, for a bunch of foolish leftists who constantly decry the evils of “collective punishment”, this sounds and smells a lot like “collective punishment” to me.
NCAA thinks they can rule because of WHY? they are such bullies! Even UCLA had to lie about funding for the trip to Memphis...
Just say, “Bye”
See what leftists do. They upset traditional norms and when good people simply revert it back, they’re called bigots and want to be in everyone’s personal lives.
When the NCAA works with other sports leagues to end “gender specific” teams I MAY be impressed.
This is bazzare.
Do it. Keep their thug fans out of NC.
The NCAA discriminates against Trans people.
“””Under the law, businesses in North Carolina are free to regulate their intimate facilities however they choose. But HB2 has still drawn the ire of major corporations such as Apple, Facebook and Google who say it goes against their values.”””
Values? VALUES? When a perv goes into a woman’s bathroom —— just because he CAN, where is the value in that?
FUNCAA
Let them just agree to head out of doors and find the nearest tree - it’s a gender-free sanctuary!
The NCAA are backing themselves into a huge corner: Very soon, MEN claiming to be women will be invading Womens’ Athletics and the NCAA won’t be able to do a damn thing about it, they will be FORCED to allow them to compete and dominate in Womens’ athletic competitions.
Good riddance.
