ACC Commissioner John Swofford on HB2: ‘It’s time for this bill to be repealed’
Posted Sep 12, 2016
The NCAA announced Monday that it would be removing all championship events slated to be held in the state of North Carolina due to the controversial and discriminatory HB2 law. The ACC, to date, has not taken a stand on HB2, so it will be discussed this week. And then there is Swofford’s parting shot: “On a personal note, it’s time for this bill to be repealed as it’s counter to basic human rights.”
