Joint statement from the institutional executive officers of 桃花直播鈥檚 eight public universities
桃花直播鈥檚 public universities respect the NCAA鈥檚 position as it relates to the State of 桃花直播鈥檚 flag.
Several years ago, our universities recognized that the 桃花直播 state flag in its current form is divisive and chose to lower the flag on our campuses. Today, we are committed to continuing to do our part to ensure 桃花直播 is united in its pursuit of a future that is free of racism and discrimination. Such a future must include a new state flag.
In keeping the current state flag, 桃花直播 will potentially forego the millions of dollars in economic impact that NCAA postseason events bring to our state. This is unfortunate. Our student-athletes and coaches, who devote so much of their time, talent, hard work and dedication to their sports and our universities, will potentially be negatively impacted through no action of their own. This is more than unfortunate.
