NCAA Transgender Stance Costing Us a Regional?

[6-4-3]

Looks like the NCAA has decided they will not host an event in any states that passed anti-transgender laws regarding sports. TN would be one of those states. Please tell me this would not prohibit us from hosting a regional. The NCAA is a joke.

It won’t this year, the only thing slower than an NCAA investigation is a state legislature passing a Bill. We would be one of four or five states affected, which is kind of telling in and of itself IMO.

Proves how stupid the ncaa is, I applaud the gov for standing up to the mob and making a common sense decision.

Wonder what would happen if Southern state legislatures started making noise about pulling the SEC schools out of the NCAA? Would the NCAA p!ss their pants?

Another example of cancel culture for the win and a further slide into coercive groupthink. The irony is thick from the parrots of science, when it comes to this topic. Millions of years of biology takes a backseat to “feelings”.

Maybe they mean larger championship events like basketball ncaa tourney or conference tourneys, etc. Who knows. Just don’t want to lose shot at a regional since we are finally in a good position to host one.

The beginning of the end for women's athletics.

The NCAA needs to keep itself out of state politics. Where do you draw the line? Unlikely but not unfathomable that the NCAA one day tells universities they’re no longer eligible to participate in NCAA sanctioned events because of their states politics. I’ll simply shrug my shoulders if it happens and be surprised it took that long.

I knew this thread would suck

So did these folks have the addadictomee or the takeadicfrommee
surgery?

 

[Cenlavol]

I'm all for the southern sports association, I dont watch any of that other stuff unless the SEC team is playing them anyway.

Makes you miss the days when Jordan wouldn't endorse politicians. " Republicans buy sneakers too"

Next will be a young female athlete who will stand up and sue the NCAA for discrimination in her own sport for being female. When does sports have a transgender division?

I feel sorry for anyone who has these “sexual identity” issues. But biological males should not compete against females after about 8 years old. Create a separate competition for transgenders. If I had a daughter that had to compete against males I would be furious

 

[6-4-3]

Just saw another article where the ncaa says it has made no official decisions regarding hosting events and is currently just monitoring the situation. Whatever that means.

Means will the SEC/ACC revolt because the best baseball is being played in the South right now.

Don't see it happening because that would exclude TN, GA, FL, TX, Ky, AR, MO, MN, WV, LA, and several more have some resemblence of them.

A lot of opinions being expressed here but WE don’t need to know your position...THE NCAA, MLB, NFL, NBA ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO HEAR YOUR POSITION. You ARE the customer. CALL THEM!!!!

This could be the issue that finally divides the NCAA.

Wow. You should take that over to the politics forum. Good grief.

I've long said that I like my sports void of politics. The recent environment has made that difficult. It now seems like major sports associations want to make that impossible.

I agree with your stance. I too feel the same way. However, I understand the environment and the entities that hold the most power (MLB, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA) are pressured by their fans and employees (the players) to make these decisions and use their power to move the needle. Unfortunately, it's impossible to point the finger at one thing. It's a much larger movement. I'm not against that movement, but it's going to make for some uncomfortable situations and will inconvenience the everyday fan that's not concerned with the movement. I think until it gets to finish line, if it gets to the finish line, we're going to keep having these types of issues.
