NCAA contacts Kennesaw State about hosting title games moved from N.C.

The NCAA has contacted Kennesaw State regarding hosting the soccer and lacrosse title games recently relocated from North Carolina.

College sports’ governing body announced on Monday that it was relocating eight championship events from 2016-17 from North Carolina because of the state government’s actions concerning civil rights with North Carolina House Bill 2.

“As representatives of all three divisions, the Board of Governors must advance college sports through policies that resolve core issues affecting student-athletes and administrators,” Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson, who is the Board of Governors chair, said in a statement from the NCAA.
