Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement regarding the NCAA's and ACC's recent decisions on championship events:

"This is political theatre by the NCAA and ACC. If these multi-million dollar, tax exempt organizations were interested in social change and not making a political statement, they would proceed with their marquee events in North Carolina and enact any transgender bathroom policy they wanted. This blatant political move--less than two months before the election--brings into question their tax exempt status. This is an avenue we intend to explore."
