NAACP launches boycott campaign targeting college athletic programs in eight southern states

The NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus announced the 'Out of Bounds' campaign on Tuesday, urging black athletes, fans, and alumni to withdraw support from major public universities in eight southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas) that the organizations claim have moved to restrict voting rights. The campaign targets schools with prominent football and basketball programs in the SEC and ACC, seeking to apply economic pressure in response to voting rights legislation and a recent Supreme Court ruling.
