    NCAA, SEC pressure Mississippi to remove Confederate symbol from state flag....

    The NCAA on Friday expanded its policy banning states with prominent Confederate symbols from hosting its championship events, one day after the Southeastern Conference made a similar declaration aimed at the Mississippi state flag.


    The current NCAA ban, in place since 2001, prevents states from hosting what the NCAA calls predetermined championship sites, such as those for men’s basketball tournament games. Mississippi is the only state currently affected by the policy.


    On Thursday, the SEC announced it would no longer hold conference-sponsored championship events in Mississippi until the state flag is changed. The move came with the calls for change from administrators from both Ole Miss and Mississippi State.....snip~

    Change that Flag Mississippi. Then prepare to have to change the name of your State.
