  The NCAA's Board of Governors voted to update the association's participation policy on transgender student-athletes after a Trump executive order.

The NCAA has updated its transgender athlete participation policy in response to an executive order from President Joe Biden, which aims to prevent discrimination based on gender identity in sports. The new policy, effective immediately, allows transgender athletes to compete in sports consistent with their gender identity, but with specific guidelines for each sport. These guidelines consider the fairness of competition and safety, particularly in contact sports. The policy was developed after consultations with various stakeholders, including athletes, coaches, and medical experts, to balance inclusion with competitive equity. The NCAA's approach includes a phased implementation, with different rules for each division, and ongoing reviews to adapt to evolving scientific understanding and societal norms regarding transgender participation in sports.
