NAACP urges Black athletes to boycott SEC schools over redistricting backlash

TL;DR Summary
The NAACP launches the Out of Bounds campaign, urging Black student-athletes to withhold commitments to SEC schools in the South after a Supreme Court ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act and spurred redistricting backlash. The effort aims to redirect support and funding to HBCUs, press for state voting-rights protections, and amplify protests and political action in response to the ruling and its consequences for Black communities.
