RE: How will "Bathroom Bills" impact college sports?
CSUB looked into it, and it doesn't apply to existing contracts. They can continue to travel to El Paso to get to NMSU and to Texas to get to UTRGV. Wyoming is an existing contract with the MWC, which means with SDSU, SJSU, and Fresno State.

There is also the accounting trick to get around it, where California teams can travel to the states, provided it is funded by non-State funds. So you create a pool of travel money from donations and use that to travel to Texas or North Carolina. It can be gotten around if the school and athletic department do their prep work.

While I understand the motivations behind the ban, I think it is an unwise practice. It gets us into the 50+1 majoritarianism mindset. It's not like California had this super liberal bathroom approach even 10 years ago. It's a super new thing, just passed, and with no public input, no statewide initiative (it would most likely fail in a statewide vote ... but as there is no GOP to speak of in 2/3rds of California, there is no danger to any Democrat who supported the bill). And this type of measure attempts to club the states who disagree like nothing we have seen since the Civil War with the various state slave acts. The politics of California are such that it will not be adjusted until a major Democratic Party pressure group demands a softening. And I don't see one that cares enough to bother.

This does not effect private schools, only Cal State and UCs.
