"West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice reiterated Wednesday that he doesn’t plan to veto a bill banning transgender middle school, high school and college girls and women from playing on women’s sports teams, even though he conceded it could lead the NCAA to “penalize us.”

The NCAA said in a news release Monday that it might no longer hold college championships in states with such laws. The legislation (House Bill 3293) would implement the ban only at public schools, colleges and universities.

“Even at our college level, I support the bill there as well,” Justice said. “The only problem is just one thing, and that is this: The NCAA, you know, has moved to a more political, politically correct or liberal body. And they could very well penalize us.”
