NCAA Board of Governors Statement on Social Activism

POSTED: June 12, 2020 -- 4:50 p.m. CT

Friday afternoon, the NCAA released this statement:

President Mark Emmert and the NCAA Board of Governors recognize the important role social engagement has on driving positive societal change. The recent demonstrations following the tragic killing of George Floyd showed the world the power of protest and student-athletes across the country were at the center of that movement. We commend NCAA student-athletes who recognized the need for change and took action through safe and peaceful protest. We encourage students to continue to make their voices heard on these important issues, engage in community activism and exercise their Constitutional rights. Further, we encourage all member schools to assist students in registering to vote in the upcoming national election and to designate November 3, 2020, as a day off from athletics activity so athletes can vote and participate in their ultimate responsibility as citizens.
