Big Ten to review impact of Indiana's religious freedom law

The Big Ten conference has sounded off on a new Indiana law that would allow businesses to refuse to serve gay and lesbian customers. 

The conference said in a statement released on Friday that it will review the impact of the law in its next meeting: 

The Big Ten Conference and its member institutions believe in promoting an inclusive environment in which athletic competition can operate free from discrimination. The conference is aware of the bill that was recently signed into law in the state of Indiana and will further review its impact at the next scheduled meetings of its administrators, presidents and chancellors. 

NCAA president Mark Emmert released a statement on Thursday that the NCAA national office and members were especially concerned about the bill. 

There is concern, according to multiple sources, that the conference could pull events due to the new law.
