CALIFORNIA TRAVEL BAN

Apparently Montana is one of 23 States on California’s travel ban list for having conservative laws pertaining to abortion and LGBTQ rights. Texas, the site of the final four is another. SDSU being one of those four for the first time will not be effected as the NCAA pays their way. One has to wonder how this will impact other California teams scheduled for travel in the future. I believe something like this has come up before but don’t know how far reaching this will be.

I guess we'll find out by October 14th. Cal Poly is already a guaranteed win but I suppose we'd take a 2 week bye heading into the Sac State game if they want to stay home.

This "ban" has been in place since 2017 and no California team has missed a trip to Montana since then as far as I can recall. It doesn't ban them from traveling, just from using state funds to pay for it.

Yeah, this is old news... I remember people freaking out about this 5 years ago.

The new news is that it appears that the California legislature is likely going to repeal the (not really a) ban.
