(CAMPUSREFORM) — The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced Monday that it is cancelling all post-season championship games scheduled for play in North Carolina in response to the state’s controversial transgender bathroom law.
Seven championships or elimination-round games in Division I, II, and III sports have been removed from the state, including two rounds of Division I men’s basketball games—an extremely popular sporting event in North Carolina.
