A CALIFORNIA law bans tax dollar-funded travel to Kansas, including California state universities and their athletics teams, the Wichita Eagle reported. The California law considers Kansas a state whose laws discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, thus forbidding California government agencies and state universities to use tax dollars to travel to Kansas. University athletic teams could likely use revenue from TV contracts and ticket sales to fund travel. K-State baseball hosts the University of California, Riverside March 10-12 in Manhattan.
