NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus urge college sports boycott in South over voting rights

They targeted the Southeastern Conference, citing redistricting efforts in states like Alabama, Florida, and Georgia that threaten Black representation. The groups also criticized the SCORE Act, which aims to compensate student-athletes but faces opposition.
