On Monday, the Register published an article from the Associated Press detailing complaints filed with the NAACP over a rule the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference that limits the number of athletes the conference’s football and basketball programs can recruit from out-of-state.

The conference requires its football teams to stay at under 20 scholarship out-of-state players while men’s and women’s basketball can carry up to eight out-of-state players.

Among those filing a complaint was Garden City Community College football coach Jeffery Sims who told the Associated Press that: “Out-of-stater is a code word for minority.”
