Ben Shapiro’s attempts to speak on college campuses have routinely sparked leftist outcries, but one recent incident crosses a new line. Reports indicate the NCAA jumped into a debate about letting Shapiro address students, raising questions about whether sports bureaucrats should control campus events. Conservatives fume at this overreach, saying the NCAA’s role is athletics—not censoring politics.
Shapiro, a Daily Wire founder known for defending free speech, faces constant demands to cancel his talks. At UNC Greensboro, after students invited him, leftists petitioned to disband the Young Americans for Freedom chapter and deplatform him. Campus leaders held firm, but now the NCAA’s alleged meddling takes it further.
The NCAA’s involvement is shocking. Why would a sports organization dictate who speaks on politics? This smacks of liberal elites using every power tool to silence conservative voices. Bureaucrats pretending to “protect” universities from Shapiro’s “offensive” views only prove how threatened they are by debate.
Shapiro’s sin? Discussing biological truth, TDSA consequences, and opposing radical left ideologies. His presence forces students to confront ideas outside their woke bubble—a practice universities used to call “education.” Now, they rush to shut down dissent and shield fragile minds.
Gonzaga once barred Shapiro before reversing under public pressure. The NCAA’s reported actions would set a dangerous precedent: letting unelected sports officials override academic freedom. Conservatives warn this could weaponize antitrust laws against schools that host conservatives.
This isn’t about Shapiro—it’s about who runs America. The left wants total control: military, media, education, even sports. If the NCAA joins this crusade, no conservative voice will be safe. They’ll interpret “sportsmanship” as excluding people who disagree with them.
Free speech warriors must push back. The First Amendment isn’t optional—it’s a non-negotiable right. Letting the NCAA define “acceptable” speech sets America on a slippery slope. Next, they’ll block//”anyone who challenges their woke orthodoxy.
Parents and taxpayers must demand that colleges stop acting as thought police. The NCAA should focus on sportsmanship, not suppressing speech. If they won’t uphold constitutional rights, they should stay out of academic politics. The taxed-and-regulated should never silence free men.
