How about fining any organization involved in “political bullying” with 5 years gross income payment due immediately.?

I believe that college football at one time was seperate from the NCAA, under the banner of the CFA (College Football Assiciation). Not too sure if my memory serves me right. Personally, I am finished with watching and attending sporting events until politics are separated. When it comes to college football (I never gave a damn about basketball) I want to see real student-athletes, those that can get into and stay in college based on their own academic mertit. No tutoring centers, hand holding or special services should be needed by student-atheletes. The NFL, NBA, and NHL can make minor leagues just like MLB for non-college material.

Basically, big business needs to be removed from college athletics. It really is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

I should note that I am not anti-athletics or anti-competition. I was a student-athlete in college. I was a swimmer. I learned plenty from practice and competition that has served me throughout life. However, I learned a lot more in the classroom. In the end, sports should be about the student-athlete, not big business or going pro, since so very few make it to the pros. It is about life and there needs to be perspective. That perspective begins and ends with a real college education, not some "studies" major designed for the less academically inclined.

Women who don’t want men competing against them should organize and refuse to compete against them.

It’s as simple as that

Hard to devise a legislative remedy without infringing free speech, but we have just begun to exercise out boycott power and efforts to educate the public.

Exactly. Take your position in the blocks, when the starter gun goes off, walk away in mass. Let the guy run the race alone.

Overnight, she went from being a likely future Vice President of the United States, and possibly even President one day, to being a future former governor of South Dakota.

Women who don’t want men competing against them should organize and refuse to compete against them.

However, I would hope the Governor and the Legislature would not be on the side of the woke attempting to throw reality, reason, logic, and science out the window in pursuit of the mythical diversity and inclusion among other myths.

Men competing against women is hardly “fair competition”.

Agree !

But where would alumni drive their SUVs to, to party, relive their college years & embarass their spouses during the fall?

Men can say they’re women, but saying it won’t make it so. Bank robbers can say they didn’t do the crime, dog owners can say their pet has 5 legs, and Joe Biden can say he won the election, but saying it won’t make it so, and never will.
So, what can we expect when our leaders pretend personal opinions overrule independent reality? Able-bodied men out running ♿ in the Special Olympics? Men showing up for half price drinks on Ladies Night? Or, men claiming they’re pregnant? Too outlandish? Think again. We’ve been warned.
Once you blur the distinction between objective reality and subjective opinion all the sorrows and evils confined within Pandora’s Box are loosed, “...the center cannot hold, mere anarchy is loosed, the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned; the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity...”
(My apologies to the poet.)

“remove the SEC, Big 12, major parts of the ACC and Big 10, parts of the PAC 12 you don’t have major college sports.....under the NCAA....”

NCAA depends on the good teams to finance and carry their B$!

Who needs the NCAA? Not the teams you include above!

Fantastic article! Author Jenkins proposes such a simple and practical fix -- create a new conservative red-state collegiate athletic association. Are there enough red state legislatures and governors to actually tell the NCAA to go to hell?

These few sentences from the article clearly state the problem we face...

Now the Left has co-opted the NCAA in its long, Gramscian march through the institutions. (Remember, the NCAA is run by college administrators, who are almost all leftists.) Essentially, they are threatening to deprive red-state conservatives of something we value—but they themselves do not—if we don’t publicly affirm their anti-scientific, unjust, insane insistence that males who claim to be females are no different from actual females. Their approach differs only in degree, not in type, from a terrorist plot to blow up an American city unless we fork over a billion dollars.

Some conservatives seem to think “transgenderism” is a minor issue, just another political battle. It is neither. It is THE issue of our time, the fight of our lives.

The outcome of this battle will determine whether, moving forward, we intend to confront the world as it actually is or only as some wish it to be; whether we will embrace reality or be forced not merely to acknowledge but to knowingly participate in other people’s psychoses. If we go down that road, we are lost. Once we accept the notion that nothing is objectively true, not even the most basic biological fact, there is no going back to a world governed by reason and logic.

"...will [we] embrace reality or be forced not merely to acknowledge but to knowingly participate in other people’s psychoses?" BINGO! The author has gotten to the whole central point of this patently stupid "transgender" issue.

Thanks for posting this reality re when this farce will end:

The women say, “That is enough. No more.”

Then all this nonsense will stop.

Common sense will prevail, but only if women demand it.
