California bans state travel to Oklahoma, OU-UCLA football unlikely to be impacted

A California ban on state-funded travel now includes Oklahoma, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Friday.

A California law passed in 2016 prohibits California's public university systems from sending staff or students to states on the banned list, but athletics teams from California's public university systems have been able to travel to the banned states for postseason events and bowl games.

The UCLA football team is scheduled to travel to Oklahoma later this year for a Sept. 8 game.

Because the home-and-home series was scheduled in 2013, the ban isn't likely to affect this year's game.
