I don’t understand this boycott to be limited to the south. Boycotts work based on economic impact.

I understand redistricting quite well, and the boycott as a response quite well too. But in the broader world, d’s win races not simply on the basis of black votes, but also on white liberal votes. So too with putative economic boycotts, and particularly where you’re talking about a world where consumers (ie, tv eyeballs) ability to influence the university revenue model may be limited under media contracts, and where modern athletes will mostly cave based on their economic payday.You don't understand what is happening re redistricting?
You don't understand the difference in the geographic locations (Ohio being the exception)?
You don't understand how the above are effecting different racial demographics differently?
You don't understand the difference in college sports participation?
You don't understand the relationship between black student athletes and college revenue?
Or you don't understand why white folks aren't the lever to be pulling?
Or are playing stupid?
This might help you...
Redistricting is rampant ahead of the US House midterm elections. What states are taking action? | The Associated Press
A partisan redistricting battle among states has accelerated ahead of the November midterm elections following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened the federal Voting Rights Act and opened the way for states to try to eliminate voting districts drawn for racial minorities.
For the record, I do think it's the last question above.
Where have you been? They already attack white liberal voters. They turned NC from a 7-7 congressional delegation to an 11-3 bunch simply by carving up white liberal voters.
If they can get it somewheres else, I encourage them to go there. I couldn't give a flip about college football at this moment in history.
…Which, to my point, would be all the more reason to appeal to white liberal voters to join the boycott. Wouldn’t it?
Or - go to one of the dozens of schools who can offer you just as much if not more and you will also benefit from getting to live in a state that isn’t trying to strip you of your rights.
FAFO amirite? Not sure why any Black athlete would want to play for a SEC school.Primarily SEC schools......and Clemson.

not if you want to maximize the already longshot chances for the boycott to "work". White liberals have eyeballs to watch events with, asses to sit in event seats, fingers to type on team website message fora, and wallets to buy team gear, just as others do. It would indeed be nice if boycotts worked by their sheer moral force, but they don't.
Yeah…Because that’s exactly how college recruiting works. Good grief. Not to mention, having grey haired people whose life and accomplishments are already in the rear view mirror, telling youth to give up a goal they’ve achieved and have been dreaming of, is so dumb and selfish.
Then I can’t really imagine you understating why anything else at all happens, if you don’t understand that.
