Also, this from Texas:

"We have always said that the Texas Privacy Act was not in conflict with the anti-discrimination goals of the NCAA, and the statement they released this morning makes that abundantly clear," Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said, referring to the formal title of the Texas bathroom bill.

Bill sponsor Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, also took a victory lap, applauding the NCAA for "now agreeing that there is nothing discriminatory about the Texas Privacy Act."

All the nastiest states were waiting to see what the NCAA would do. Now they are moving full speed ahead since the NCAA caved.
