WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The NCAA will deny North Carolina lucrative hosting duties for college sports championship events through 2022 if the state does not change a law that restricts bathroom access for transgender people by Thursday, a local sports official said on Tuesday.
Scott Dupree , executive director for the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, said in a statement on Twitter that a ""contact very close to the NCAA"" had confirmed the impending deadline for a fix of the law commonly known as House Bill 2.
""If HB 2 has not been resolved by that time, the NCAA will have no choice but to move forward without the North Carolina bids,"" Dupree said.
Asked for comment , NCAA spokeswoman Gail Dent did not respond to Dupree's statement.
Instead, she referred to a statement by the governing body for U.S. college athletics last week on the one-year anniversary of the law. In it, the NCAA maintained its position that HB 2 did not assure a discrimination-free atmosphere for events.
North Carolina is the only state that bars transgender people from using government-run restrooms that match their gender identity. The measure also limits protection from discrimination for lesbian, gay , bisexual and transgender people.
Supporters of the law, passed by the state's Republican-controlled legislature, say it is needed for public safety. Opponents decry it as unnecessary and discriminatory.
The measure spurred boycotts by corporations, conventions and concerts , as well as the relocation of the National Basketball Association's 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte.
The NCAA stripped North Carolina of previously awarded championship events in protest of the law, including two rounds of this month's Division I men's basketball tournament.
Dupree has said the loss of six years' worth of NCAA championship events would cost the state more than $250 million. Repeal efforts have failed.
""Absent any change in the law, our position remains the same regarding hosting current or future events in the state,"" the NCAA said last week.
The organization said it would begin selecting sites this week and would announce the chosen locations for events through spring of 2022 on April 18.

A slowed flight can be a hassle. The airlines get bad publicity because so many flights do not depart and arrive on time. In the U.S. , the Department of Transportation maintains statistics and publishes them often. In Europe, there are strict new rules for compensation. This is improving the issue.
The vast majority of the time you won’t experience flight delays. For all of the publicity that airlines get, many of their flights get you where you want to go with very little delay. But problems may happen. You should be prepared and have a good idea what to expect when something does happen.
It will not win you any sympathy with an exhausted airline agent if you yell and yell for compensation that is not due to you. On the other hand, you can and should be dogged in getting what you do deserve. Remember that those airlines agents really are trying to do their best to help you and everyone else who is in line with you. Let us go over a few scenarios.
What will the airlines do for you if you have a delayed flight? It really depends on why it is slowed. If the flight problem is because of air-traffic delays due to congestion , most airlines won’t do much for you because they aren’t responsible for air traffic control delays (ATC delays).
If the delayed flight is because of weather… well, you are all pretty much at the mercy of the weather including the airline. These situations are out of their control. They will try to get you on your way as best they can, but you will not be compensated for these types of delays.
If your held up flight is due to a problem that is in their control, the airline may be more helpful. For example , is there is a mechanical problem or crew rest problems, or computer difficulty with check-in?
Mechanical problems are a safety issue so you are in a grey area there. It pays to find out what your airline says it will do. Read its contract of carriage before you travel. This lists your rights for when you encounter a deferred flight.
The airline may get you on your way with only an hour or so wait, but what if you have a linking flight… and you cannot make your connection? If you might miss your connections because of a delay at your initial airport, inform the gate agent. If there are a lot of passengers missing a connection , the airline may briefly hold a connecting .
