NC repeals HB2 (sort of)

The NCAA set a deadline of today for submission of bids for hosting of championships through 2022... It remains to be seen if the NCAA will accept the new HB142 as cleansing NC of the stain of the so-called bathroom bill...

I'm still not spending any money in NC until it is totally and completely repealed and I hope the NCAA follows suit.

It's amazing how many media outlets reported this story as "North Carolina Repeals Bathroom Bill". The North Carolina legislature is clearly trying to con the NCAA...problem is, it's the NCAA, where money is king and college athletics (and athletes) are a secondary concern.

I don't see why NC doesn't just make some payments to the NCAA to make this all go away.

Kinda like me not spending any money in SC until that confederate flag came down. You SC Gamecock fans should be happy that NC had the law that made the NCAA pull out. Put money into the Greenville coffers.... and helped you guys advance to the sweet 16

Trust me, I attended many protests to take down that Confederate Flag. I've spent many conflicted years - move back up north or stay and fight things like that.

Well... Today the NY Times reported that the NCAA has lifted the ban on post season tournaments for North Carolina... How characteristic, giving another pass to North Carolina... Will they ever finish the investigation of UNC??? Will they ever get their hands slapped???

It's going to be a tough decision if one of our basketball teams is placed in a NC regional because I'm not spending any money there. I guess I could stay just south of the line in SC and travel to the site every day and only buy the tickets. I'm a pretty stubborn guy.
