Just days after the repeal of House Bill 2, the NCAA Board of Governors voted “reluctantly” to consider allowing North Carolina to serve as host to various conference championship bids. In a statement issued Tuesday, the NCAA indicated that championships previously awarded to the state for the 2017-2018 season will be honored. Site selections are currently underway for 2018-2022.
