The NCAA Board of Governors made a succinct statement on Friday regarding the Mississippi state flag and the future of championship events being held in the state.
The Association’s Confederate flag policy has been expanded to prevent any NCAA championship events from taking place in states where the Confederate battle flag symbol has a prominent presence.
“The policy previously barred the awarding of sites determined in advance of a championship in states that displayed the Confederate flag,” the NCAA’s statement read. “However, if a college or university team earned the right to host a championship game based on its tournament seeding or ranking – considered a non-predetermined award – the team could host on its college campus or in its home territory.
