I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but it seems to me that any attempt by
the State to interfere with the execution of a legal contract entered into before the
passage of the law would leave the State open to a lawsuit.

So I think this will only affect future scheduling, not currently contracted games.

I think you're right but what the heck do UCLA, Cal and other big time public universities do when it comes to scheduling in the future? Puts ADs in a tough position.....

I don't believe we are on the no travel list so we can offer triple header one and ones.

Plus the fact that some potential bowl games for UCLA or Cal would be off limits.

2 of the 6 PAC bowl games are in TX. They could easily reallocate the teams so that Cal &UCLA went elsewhere. And note the ban is only on state-sponsored travel. Not sure who pays for bowl expenses - it might be the game.

Cal wont going to a bowl game in the immediate future.... they dont have to worry about anything.

Most of the larger schools, particularly the PAC 12 members, have athletic programs which are all funded through private donations, sponsorship and other sources of non-state money. They'll all be able to travel anyplace they want to. The smaller state colleges that don't have the ability to fund their entire athletic programs privately may be affected by it. However, the smaller schools aren't likely to travel quite as far as the larger schools, so the likelihood of them going to the banned states is probably significantly less than the larger schools might be likely to.

What is California going to do when their list gets up to 30 or 40 states? It will get that high or higher, because once you start banning anything for any reason, the list of reasons will begin to grow. No group wants to be left out of the "reasons for banning".

Is tuition, fees, donations, ticket and merchandising revenue for a school considered state money?

Here's a story about basketball recruiting being effected by the ban:

Only for state chartered schools---the State can ban those schools, supposedly state supported; but it would be hard pressed to BAN and enforce it to "privately funded " schools.
If the financial squeeze becomes a factor--you will soon see how quickly some changes happen or what is ignored. So much for social graces.

Good for them, But it is going to hurt there recruiting big time.
