The NCAA, which regulates college athletics in the U.S., backed transgender athletes Monday, saying it won’t hold championship events in locations that aren’t “free of discrimination.”
As Republicans in more than two dozen states target transgender athletes, the NCAA Board of Governors said it "firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports."
It said its "more inclusive" policy for transgender athletes, which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women's sports, means “inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport.”
The board said it would monitor situations regarding trans athletes' participation without specifically mentioning states that have banned it or are considering bans. It did say the "environment" could affect the locations of championship games.
"When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected," the statement said. "We will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants."

If they were really serious about it, they would cancel ALL college sports in those states.
At this point I hope they cancel everything.
The solution is so simple:
1. Men’s Sports
2. Women’s Sports
3. Thing’s Sports
Let the THINGS compete against each other, preferably wearing lingerie.
Bye bye college sports
Refusing to allow fake women to compete in sports with real women is not discrimination. It is sanity.
Love it. This society is detestable.
That is it in a nutshell.
And now you know why Noem sold out her gender..
Pathetic.
Letting men compete in women’s sports is discriminatory..
I don’t care how many hormones or surgeries they have.
Scholarships: Title IX requires that female and male student-athletes receive athletics scholarship dollars proportional to their participation;
Nixon should have been impeached for that monstrosity alone.
‘Free of common sense and decency’ is more accurate.
I hope by next year, a women never wins another sports event again. Let the men win everything. I know that sucks but women are the accepting group out of the population.
Might be free of fans, also.
NCAA is a terrorist organization. Needs be dealt with accordingly.
“Andy would have been the greatest of all the women wrestlers.”
Life imitates art.
Well played! +1!
“... requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports ...”
That requirement will be dropped within a year because it will be deemed “harmful” to transwomen.
Conservatives tried to fight on January 6th, but it was a disaster. That type of protest won’t happen again for decades. Heck, Saturday was a huge protest for conservatives and a handful showed up across the country in total.
I expect we will see injury cases increase.
