Somebody is going to challenge it. Until then, Cali schools will have to schedule carefully. Id also schedule a crap load of games now before other states get on the list.

Its not a religious ban. It simply states that California's taxpayers will not enter into contracts that will involve travel to states where certain people face discrimination. Under the AG ruling, its perfectly legal for UCLA to schedule a game at Liberty, but not legal for them to schedule a game at Rice.

I think this one holds up. Basically the alternative is to say...Alabama can mandate or allow discrimination and California must use taxpayer funds to send its own citizens there to face that discrimination. And that its taxpayer owned institutions must contract to send its citizens where they will face discrimination. Basically the argument of someone challenging the AG ruling is this, not only can Texas discriminate against its own citizens, but California would be compelled to use taxpayer funds to export its own citizens there to face that discrimination.

And I'd imagine that the Circuit Court that gets the case will be the liberal circuit out West. So give it a couple of years for the courts to go through that.

Its already in effect btw. At least for Texas.

We shall see. I'm sure someone will sue. In the meantime, I think that a huge bucket of ice water has been thrown on a lot of realignment scenarios for the time being. And the WAC has a potential problem.
