The NCAA has banned biological men from competing in women's sports after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to that effect, NBC News reported.
Biological men may continue to practice with women's teams and receive benefits, but may not officially compete.
“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," NCAA President Charlie Baker said. "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."
Trump signed an executive order banning biological men from competing in women's sports on Wednesday.
"It’s just all about common sense," Trump said.
