Cooper says theres no end in sight to these losses until House Bill 2 is repealed. Cooper is a graduate of ACC member UNC-Chapel Hill.State Democratic Party Executive Director Kimberly Reynolds also said the ACCs decision could have been easily avoided with a repeal.Republican legislative leaders and McCrory have shown no signs of backing off the law involving LGBT rights and which bathrooms transgender people can use.---3:40 p.m.North Carolinas two public universities in the Atlantic Coast Conference say they support how member schools responded to a state law many believe lead to discrimination against LGBT people, even though the leagues decision may hurt state residents and communities.The ACCs Council of Presidents decided Wednesday to remove neutral-site league championships from North Carolina.The chancellors of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and N.C.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Brad Kaaya was getting tired of throwing short passes. So he called an audible to go deep, and thats when the Miami Hurricanes responded.And if this was Kaayas Miami farewell, it was stellar.Kaaya became Miamis all-time career passing leader, throwing for 396 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdowns as the Hurricanes beat Duke 40-21 on Saturday. Kaaya now has 9,686 yards in three seasons -- 121 more than Ken Dorsey, who piled up 9,565 from 1999 through 2002.Kaaya completed 22 of 35 passes and broke the mark with a 42-yard pass to Stacy Coley in the third quarter. Miami (8-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) started breaking the game open when Kaaya decided to take a shot on a deep ball to tight end David Njoku, that audible turning into a 76-yard touchdown and the first of two long ones for Njoku in the game.I said `Screw it, and told David we were going to go, Kaaya said. It was beautiful.Coley made nine catches for 118 yards and a touchdown for Miami and Mark Walton also caught a TD pass for the Hurricanes, who have won four straight.Just a great victory, a great way to finish, Miami coach Mark Richt said.

But we also had to overcome a lot of adversity as a team. We lost three captains and a lot of seniors went down. It was tough. Were going to look back at this year as overcoming adversity and learning from it.The teams combined for five scores in the games first five possessions, and Miamis lead was only 16-14 at the half. But Kaaya struck twice in the third quarter, hitting Njoku for the long score and then connecting with Coley to make it 33-14 not long after the record-breaking completion.Now the question becomes if this was Kaayas home finale.Going pro will be a serious option, and with good reason. This wwas the 11th 300-yard game of Kaayas college career, the fourth four-TD game hes had as a Hurricane and hes now the only quarterback in Miami history with three seasons of at least 3,000 yards.dddddddddddd.It might have crossed my mind a little bit, that it could be, Kaaya said, when asked if he considered the possibility that this was his last home game as a Hurricane.
