Cal won’t schedule future Kansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee trips due to LGBT discrimination laws in each state

The Bay Area News Group is reporting that a Cal women’s basketball home-and-home was taken off the books against Kansas due to the state’s discriminatory law against the LGBT community. The state of California had law AB 1887 go into effect on January 1st that prohibits state funds or state-sponsored legislation to go to travel to states that have laws that discriminate against the LGBT community.

This will apply to sister school UCLA as well, along with any athletic programs in the UC and CSU system.

All scheduling events that took place before January 1st will not be affected, so Cal football’s games at North Carolina this season and Ole Miss in 2019 are still (for the moment) going ahead as planned.
