NCAA President Mark Emmert has indicated the Indianapolis- headquartered organization would consider relocating all types of col- lege sports events out of state if the law doesn't change. But none on the calendar is quite as urgent as next year's women's championship. Indiana's capital city, which has built an economy and reputation as an attractive base for major sports events, is being watched carefully as fallout swells about the law, which opponents say amounts to legal- ized discrimination. The NCAA was among the first sports organiza- tions to express concern with the law when it was signed by Gov. Mike Pence last week, and many others have followed, including the NFL, the NBA and NASCAR. The men's Final Four is in Indianapolis this weekend and could not have been moved on short notice. But officials have made it clear there is enough time to consider relocating future events, and that they want an environment welcoming to all athletes and fans. "What's going on in Indiana is troubling," NCAA vice president of women's basketball championships Anucha Browne said Wednesday. "We will assess all our championships in the state of Indiana." The Indiana law prohibits any laws that "substantially burdens" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. Although the legal language does not specifically mention gays and les- Rain, rain ... go away bians, critics say the law is designed to protect businesses and indi- East Laurens starting pitcher Austin Scott (2) and Falcon teammates sit in the home dugout and wait out a severe weather delay before viduals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians, such as florists or the start of Tuesday’s game with Telfair County.
