The NCAA reformed its policy on transgender-identifying athlete participation on Thursday, limiting participation in women’s divisions to female athletes.
The policy allows men to practice with women’s teams and to receive “benefits such as medical care” while practicing, according to a press release from the NCAA.
“The NCAA is an organization made up of 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states that collectively enroll more than 530,000 student-athletes. We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today’s student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions. To that end, President Trump’s order provides a clear, national standard,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said.
