The "Out of Bounds" campaign focuses on one primary ask, calling on top football and basketball recruits currently being actively recruited by targeted programs to withhold their commitments until the states in question restore fair congressional maps and meaningful Black representation.

This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy, the court wrote in its decision.
