The NCAA has announced a new policy preventing transgender girls and women from competing in female sporting events, aligning with President Trump’s recent executive order. This decision comes as part of an effort to establish uniform eligibility standards for college athletes, which NCAA president Charlie Baker argues is essential for the mental and physical health of student-athletes. The NCAA oversees more than 530,000 athletes across 1,100 institutions and aims to modernize college sports while addressing the complexities introduced by varying state laws.

The NCAA believes in clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards for student-athletes rather than a patchwork of conflicting state laws.
This national standard brings much-needed clarity as we modernise college sports for today's student-athletes, reflecting the body's commitment to their mental and physical health.
