Should the NCAA pull the Final Four from Indy?

A gamer convention just pulled out over this "religious freedom" nonsense.

The Superdome would likely be available, not that Louisiana is any sort of bastion of LGBT rights.

Are they gonna move too?

As to whether they should... probably not, because they'll lose a ton of money trying to switch things up at this late date. Legally they'd probably be in a world of trouble doing this over a law that will not have taken effect by the Final Four.

But they should look into relocating and moving future events.

It's not like we had any decent mens basketball this season. Oops, Texas isn't a bastion of gay rights either.
