NCAA will remove North Carolina from consideration for bids for 2018-2022 without HB2 repeal

In a letter to the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Sports Association said that the state is on the verge of losing NCAA championship events through 2022 unless House Bill 2 is repealed. That would mean a six-year hiatus of any NCAA tournament events being held in the state across all sports. You can read the full letter here.

According to the letter, the NCAA’s review and consideration of bids began in January. The NCAA has already made their stance on HB2 known by pulling all championship events out of the state for 2017, and would do so through the spring of 2022 unless the state repeals.
