True, but the NCAA is a non-profit/tax-exempt organization that operates in conjunction with public and private universities.

I miss when companies stayed out of politics and policies all together but in today's world a company's profile is more at risk by staying quiet because special interest groups and the media will paint them as bigots just by not taking a stance.

This could really end up hurting the NCAA by alienating the conservative base that has always supported scholarship athletics and the amateur status. If they lose that group that are in trouble because most liberals would love to abolish college athletics all together.
