OU-UCLA game still likely to be played despite California ban on state-funded travel to Oklahoma

California's attorney general is banning all future state-funded travel to Oklahoma because of a new child placement law that is being criticized there as discriminatory.

The ban goes into effect June 22.

The restriction is unlikely to impact the 2018 OU-UCLA football game in Norman because it was scheduled by contract in 2013.

The Oklahoma Sooners play the Bruins from the University of California, Los Angeles on Sept. 8. The game is expected to be one of the early highlights of the college football season.

The new law allows private adoption and foster care agencies to still get state funding even if they refuse on religious grounds to offer their services to gay couples.
