NCAA warns North Carolina it could lose tournament games

North Carolina must “demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination, plus safeguards the dignity of everyone involved in the event,” in order to keep NCAA basketball tournament games, NCAA officials have warned.

Greensboro and Charlotte are set to host the NCAA basketball tournament’s first and second round games in 2017 and 2018, according to ESPN. In order for the sites to still host those games, the cities must submit to the NCAA’s Board of Governors Ad Hoc Committee to Promote Cultural Diversity and Equity a plan to prove there will be no discrimination, the NCAA said.
