Hours later, a college basketball team boards the same plane, buckles into the same seats, and flies to March Madness. Our universities booked one of those flights. But our tuition and our tax dollars paid for both. GlobalX Airlines holds the NCAA's $5 million charter contract for March Madness. GlobalX also operates the majority of all ICE deportation flights in America. The Athletic confirmed this last year with specific tail numbers and flight records. More than 1,600 students at universities had their visas revoked or their immigration status terminated in 2025. They were flown out on GlobalX — the same airline our NCAA fees pay for. GlobalX also has serious safety problems. ProPublica reported crew safety concerns on GlobalX flights, including operating with undertrained crew and vacant safety management positions. A crew that wasn't properly trained for an emergency and an airline with a record of safety issues is a danger to everyone on board. These are the planes carrying our athletes. When our universities use airlines that carry out ICE deportation flights, it tells us that the dignity and worth of those communities — our communities — is not a priority. When they allow our athletes to fly with an airline known for safety issues, it tells us we're not a priority. The NCAA calls this a "world class student athlete experience" - we call it a betrayal. Click ‘START WRITING’ to sign and send a direct message telling university Athletic Directors from the five major NCAA athletics conferences: Drop GlobalX flight contracts. Keep ICE off the court. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/dump-globalx
