North Carolina lawmakers filed a bill on Monday that would pull North Carolina and NC State from the Atlantic Coast Conference if the conference boycotted the state again amid the fallout of House Bill 2.

House Bill 728 says that if a college conference boycotts North Carolina, then state schools that are a part of that conference would be prohibited from extending the grant of media rights to that conference.


quote:

“We’re taking this seriously and we’re not going to sit back idly and let them do whatever they want to North Carolina,” Rep. Mark Brody, a Republican from Union County, told WNCN, CBS’ North Carolina affiliate.

“This is a payback bill from people who supported House Bill 2,” Rep. Graig Meyer (D-Orange) told the station.
Duke and Wake Forest, as private schools, would not be affected if HB 728 became law.

BSPN would boycott the conference.

NCAA typically doesn't allow autobids for conferences less than 5 years old.

SEC Network headquarters are in Charlotte. Would SC allow it? I know they would block any talk of Clemson since they are in state rivals.

An average of 30 priests/preachers are arrested per month for sexual crimes against children nationwide, but these brainwashed zombies are focused on bathrooms as the topic de jour as if it's some kind of national crisis. Because how many kids are molested by people wearing the wrong clothes in bathrooms?

A whole Lotta windmill jousting in the name of morals, while the real threat is brushed under the rug.
