NAIA Bans Transgender Athletes from Women’s Sports

“Only NAIA student-athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in NAIA-sponsored female sports,” the policy said.

The NAIA governs sports for 249 mostly small and private colleges, which are not in one of the NCAA’s three divisions, across the country.

The NAIA becomes the first national college governing body to mandate athletes compete with their sex in a overwhelming 25-0 vote.

“For us, we believed our first responsibility was to create fairness and competition in the NAIA. … We also think it aligns with the reasons Title IX was created. You’re allowed to have separate but equal opportunities for women to compete,” he said.
