..unlike baseball, which has an extensive minor league system. The window of opportunity for someone wanting to play in the NFL is very narrow, and aspiring players are not going to give up or delay their chance to play for a top tier football program.

The NCAA did play a significant role in opposing NC's anti-transgender 'bathroom bill'; but they did that by moving championship events out of the state.

Newsweek has a timeline of the various actions that were taken by organizations and individuals against HB2, but I don't know if a similar boycott would take place in Alabama
