COLUMBIA — Just like everyone else, the NCAA is watching and waiting to see if the Confederate flag comes down.
Until that happens, the organization’s policy banning predetermined championship events in the Palmetto State remains intact, a spokesperson said Tuesday. “The policy is still in place since there has been no change with regard to the issue,” said Meghan Durham, the NCAA’s assistant director of public and media relations.
The flag’s presence has long been problematic for South Carolina college teams, and the compromise that moved it from the capitol dome to the Confederate soldiers monument on the statehouse grounds didn’t help.
