NAACP Launches Boycott Campaign Against 7 Southern States' College Sports Over Redistricting

The NAACP has rolled out its "Out of Bounds" campaign, urging Black athletes, fans and donors to boycott college sports programs in seven Southern states over congressional redistricting disputes.
The group is targeting Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina, arguing the pressure campaign should respond to map changes after recent Supreme Court rulings limiting racial gerrymandering.
The report says the campaign focuses on Republican-led Southern states while not similarly targeting Democratic-led states such as California or Virginia, where partisan map fights have also drawn scrutiny.
That push extends the redistricting battle into college football, a multibillion-dollar industry in the South, raising the stakes for schools that rely heavily on Black athletic talent and fan support.
Could the NAACP's college football boycott create a new era of dominance for Historically Black Colleges and Universities?
With new Supreme Court rules on voting maps, how can advocates now prove racial intent without direct evidence?
