Sen. Blackburn Leads Push for NCAA Policy Change on Biological Men in Women's Sports
Aug 6, 2024, 05:01 PM
Senator Marsha Blackburn is leading a coalition of nearly two dozen Republican lawmakers in urging the NCAA to update its policies to prohibit the participation of biological men in women's sports. This initiative, announced by Blackburn's office on Tuesday, is supported by Senators Mike Crapo, Tommy Tuberville, Cindy Hyde-Smith, and Jim Risch, among others. They argue that allowing men to compete in women's sports undermines fairness and safety. As the college athletics season ramps up, the lawmakers are calling for the NCAA to ensure an even playing field for female athletes by adopting policies that restrict women's sports to biological females only.
