The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced Thursday that it has changed its transgender athlete policy after President Donald Trump’s executive order on the issue.
The NCAA, which governs sports for more than half a million athletes at about 1,100 schools, changed its policy to “limit competition in women’s sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only.”
“A student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women’s team,” the new policy reads.
The move comes less than 24 hours after Trump, surrounded by smiling young girls wearing sports uniforms signed an order banning trans-identifying males from girls’ sports.
