  • The move came one day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports.

The NCAA has introduced a new policy that restricts women's sports to athletes who were assigned female at birth, aiming to ensure competitive equity in women's sports. This decision has sparked significant controversy and debate over issues of fairness, inclusion, and discrimination. Critics argue that the policy excludes transgender women and intersex athletes, potentially violating Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs.

Legal challenges are anticipated, with some states already moving to enact similar restrictions, while others are considering legislation to protect transgender athletes' rights.
