NCAA adopts new policy for transgender athletes, letting each sport set eligibility requirements

[Bubbles]

"The NCAA has adopted a sport-by-sport approach for transgender athletes, bringing the organization in line with the U.S. and International Olympic Committees.

Under the new guidelines, approved by the NCAA Board of Governors on Wednesday, transgender participation for each sport will be determined by the policy for the sport's national governing body, subject to review and recommendation by an NCAA committee to the Board of Governors.

When there is no national governing body, that sport's international federation policy would be in place. If there is no international federation policy, previously established IOC policy criteria would take over."

Ridiculous it should be same rule across the board for every sport.

So a transgender might be able to participate in football or basketball but not soccer or softball?
It should be the same for all sports run by the NCAA.
