What exactly does the NC General Assembly have to do the federal tax status of a non-profit organization? This is nothing more than political grandstanding. Rep. Brody needs to spend his time dealing with the actual issues he and the GA have control over, and quit wasting the taxpayers time and money on issues beyond their control.

Of course, the situation is really not that simple.
The State of NC has legal standing -- and good reason -- to bring suit against the NCAA in federal court. Thus the legislature has every right to empower a study into whether or not such a suit should be brought. Whether the State of NC would prevail in any such suit is another matter that can be resolved (should any such a suit be brought) only by a federal Judge.
Also, there is the issue as to whether the NCAA is considered to be tax exempt in NC; I don't know how this would play out. My guess is that you don't, either.
Ohh you sweet summer child. If you really believe the ideas of Wallace compare to what Democrats believe today. Someone needs a history lesson on the Southern Strategy.

Not that different they still are very intolerant of people with different views. Take a day trip to Chapel Hill for a case study.

yes and that person is you. Nixon was for integration so doesn't make sense to argue racist whites switched to GOP because of a racist strategy devised by Nixon. The racists in that election were voting for Wallace.
Robert Byrd was was in the KKK did not switch to the GOP. Neither did AL Gore's father and most of the Democrats who opposed civil rights. Strom Thurmond is basically the only one and that had to do with his views on national security and taxes. SC's other senator at the time, Ernest Hollings, a Democrat, was as racist as Thurmond.
the southern strategy theory proposes that racist white voters abandoned the party that had supported slavery, secession, jim crow, lynching, KKK, segregation for the party that had opposed these things, and they started doing this with Nixon who opposed segregation. that is a no good horrible rotten theory.

The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt anymore! Lyndon Johnson remarked that after the Civil Rights Act was passed, the South would be lost to the Democratic party. It was, and Nixon was the first beneficiary of that change. The Silent Majority included a lot of closet racists. Lincoln's "Better Angels of Our Nature (civil rights) and Teddy R's "Walk Tall and Carry a Big Stick" (to club the Robber Barons) Republican Party died a hundred years ago! Barry Goldwater was hardly in Nancy Pelosi's camp now, was he? It's not a theory either ...it's a fact! Denial ain't just a river in Egypt!
the south was lost to Democrats as more affluent and educated middle class people moved in from elsewhere. when Democrats had power in the south, it was largely a rich and poor person area. Nixon didn't win all of the southern states, I think he only won the Carolinas, Virginia and Tenn, states with more transplants. he obviously did better than Wallace outside of the south.
it would not make sense for a 'closet racist' to vote for a politician in Nixon who supported civil rights when George Wallace was on the ballot. you can use all the exclamation points you want but it still won't make sense.
The Civil Rights legislation of the 1960s, and all previous civil rights legislation, was pushed and passed by a majority of Republicans in Congress. LBJ actually opposed previous civil rights legislation until going along with it in 1964. LBJ was a racist. You can google his racist quotes.
