The NCAA said it will no longer ban North Carolina from hosting future championships now that the state has partially repealed its "bathroom bill."
In a statement, the NCAA said on Tuesday that a majority of its board of governors "reluctantly voted to allow consideration" of cities in the state.
HB2 prevented cities in North Carolina from enacting non-discrimination policies based on gender identity. It also required people to use the public restroom that corresponds with the gender on their birth certificate.
The bill was repealed last week, but cities won’t be allowed to enact their own nondiscrimination policies until 2020.
