NAIA moves Nationals from Charlotte

Don't know if they will be at Rim Rock---Senior Day football @ KU vs Texas that week-end. Not a lot of hotel rooms in Lawrence. I know when we went to nationals two years ago had to stay in Topeka--25 miles away..

Maybe the recent Charlotte shooting tipped the decision.

Typical millennial response:

"But what about my team and our pwane tickets? It's not fwair!!!!"

Typical racist millennial response.

Why do this less than 2 months before the championship? Some travel plans have been made. The NAIA knew about this HB2 law since last March. Making the move now doesn't make sense.

Geesh. Appeasing those with mental disorders. What a joke. We live in a giant sh!t hole.

NAIA cross country was scheduled for its 2nd year in Charlotte for nationals, but NAIA president states today the meet would be moved. Looks like some where in the Midwest, maybe back to rim rock?

Seems like very short notice to make that change... apparently some teams had already bought plane tickets for nationals and the preview meet this weekend.

Good job supporting LGBT community, but shouldn't this have been done over the summer so teams knew?

Wait what? How does this support the LGBT community, I'm confused

People need to be able to drop a number 2 wherever they please.

it supports the LGBT community as a continuing group (NCAA, NBA, etc.) who have pulled major events from North Carolina in opposition to a bill that allows discrimination. While each act individually doesn't do a lot, the millions of dollars the state is loosing in revenue will talk and is the only way these organization can "support."

Money talks....

Yep. It's nothing new that libs are hypocritical bigots, but news like this should make it more obvious.

Ah, thanks for clearing it up. But really? Moving the NAIA championship won't do anything, I doubt any non runners care, the only thing that comes out of this is that its an inconvenience to the runners and schools.

By moving it, the host school or venue then has reason to be pissed at the legislature of the state. At a certain point, the state government will get a report that says, "We had X number of organizations pull their events from our state over this gay stuff, including the Electric Boogaloo Festival, the Cross Dressers National Convention, and the NAIA Cross Country championships."

So no one single event is really noteworthy, but when dozens or hundreds of these events that do generate at least some money for the state pull out, they will take notice... maybe...

FWIW I support both sides in this. NC is free to create laws of behavior for its citizens. Private organizations are free to do business in that state or not. No big deal if you ask me.

I wonder how many teams had booked travel so are out that money?

Plane tickets could be a substantial budget hit. If I were an AD of a school I would be calling NAIA to ask for reimbursement.

The NCAA made this decision a few weeks ago so why the delay?

Remember, there is no logic when it comes to social justice. None of this makes sense and it never will.

How are they "out that money"?

They can still go on the trip and compete.

It does not allow discrimination. It prevents males from using female bathrooms and vice versa. All they need to do is have a separate "gender neutral" bathroom and there will be no need for a male to EVER enter a female rest room and vice versa.

They are out that money because the meet is no longer there. Are you suggesting they fly to NC in November and just run te course on their own?

How many countries has Hilary taken money from which treat women and gays a H.LL a lot worse than any State or City...But you are still voting for her?

And yet the NAIA still mandates segregation between the genders, right?

Progressives are a cancer on society.

Positive note I think it effects a host school this time around. I know there usually is, but Was there an official host school for last year nationals?
