NCAA President Charlie Baker says the NCAA does not plan to change its transgender athlete policy following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows states to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female school sports. In interviews with CBS News, Baker said he expects the NCAA’s existing approach to remain in place. He said the NCAA adopted and complied with standards established by the Trump administration when he took office, and he views the Supreme Court decision as primarily addressing state-level rules rather than the NCAA’s governing policies for college athletics. Baker told CBS News that what happens at the state level is a separate question from the NCAA’s policy framework. The court ruling upheld state laws that restrict transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports. Multiple outlets reporting on Baker’s comments characterize his position as that the NCAA will continue operating under its current transgender eligibility rules, despite potential changes to eligibility requirements at the secondary school level due to state laws.
