The NCAA has taken a strong stand about SC
flying the Confederate flag. Events such as being an NCAA host for March Madness will not happen until it is removed from the statehouse grounds.

Maybe they should take a stand about the AZ law if the governor signs it. It subjects the Hispanic players in and out of state to unwarrented harrassment. Imagine being a recruit and trying to check out a university or a community. In addition, Hispanics aren't the only people who may run into trouble.

The NCAA was willing to take on the SC government. This could open a very big can of worms for the state. I know it would hurt a lot of people not responsible for it. The SC law does too by hurting tourism.

Arizona is a much bigger fish to fry with more high profile universities.
