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

^This!!!!! This is totally insane! I can't believe NC lawmakers passed that law just to appease all the delusional North Carolinians that are bat-$hit crazy enough to believe in a magic sky wizard and base their entire world view on a severely flawed, highly edited 2000 year old text! These people actually believe that being gay or transgender is a choice! LOL! Man religious people rally are mentally ill.

I wonder if more schools might do this.

Since NAIA members are mostly small Christian colleges I'm surprised the bathroom law was the factor in their decision. I'm sure many schools are very upset over this.

The president doesn't want athletes used as political pawns but will deny his own athletes the right to participate because he doesn't like a decision made by a governing body.

I hope everyone sees the blatant hypocrisy in this.

Exactly--this guy's statement could not have been more boneheaded. Unfortunately for the athletes I'm sure he'll double down.

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.

Do NAIA teams not need to qualify for nationals? Would they really buy tickets before the season started?

NAIA must qualify at their conference championship meet. Many teams assume they will go.

Confidence is key.

Let's see here:

A. Hold the championships in NC, there is a 0% chance your female athletes get raped in a bathroom by a man who "feels like a woman"

B. Hold the championships in a state where men can hide out in women's bathrooms and assault women and girls of any age under the protection of the law.

UH....Yeah, I am with the Ozarks guy. I don't want to put my athletes in that situation.

So, where you live sexual assault is OK as long as you're in the correct bathroom? Interesting state you live in.

Conveniently enough I live in NC, so no.

But you had one thing wrong in your reply. There is no "correct" bathroom. You can choose any bathroom you want. If a man assaults a woman in a women's bathroom, any trial would be thrown out because it would be discriminatory against LGTBQIA+ persons.

Actually, it's anyone who wins their conference (with a set amount of schools in that conference) and you can also qualify through being ranked in the top 25. My conference sent 4 teams to nationals the last 2 years in a row.

I heard cedar rapids Iowa might be the location for nationals but nothing for sure. I would be against that course although it is super fast

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....

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.

Ya and make them mad against lgbt causes. Thinking of taking my daughter to footlocker south this year thanks to all this, she will be happy.

What is going to happen when some guy still with his parts say he thinks he is a girl..can he get a women scholarship?

Title IX will be over...

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?

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

It isn't meant to support the LGBTQI community - and you know that - stop playing dumb. It is meant to put pressure on the bigoted government that doesn't support the community.

.

A real sign of support would have been to leave the meet in Charlotte. Every runner knows that 5 minutes before the gun any and all bathrooms become gender inclusive!

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?

How are they "out that money"?

They can still go on the trip and compete.

A lot of plane tickets are non-refundable. They can change the tickets but for many airlines the fee is expensive - like $200. Plus ticket prices go up when purchased closer to the travel date, so some schools could be out quite a bit of money given of the size of most NAIA budgets.
