  • NCAA president Charlie Baker doubled-down on controversial statements regarding the NCAA's policies allowing trans athletes to compete against women.

NCAA President Charlie Baker has reaffirmed his stance on the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports, dismissing concerns about their impact as overstated. During an interview on "America's Newsroom," when asked about the fears of parents regarding fairness and safety, Baker emphasized that the number of transgender athletes competing is very small, suggesting that the issue does not significantly affect the majority of sports participants. He highlighted that the NCAA follows guidelines set by the U.S. Olympic Committee, which allow transgender athletes to compete under certain conditions.
