Trans athletes and NCAA

[Key]

I guess I'd be surprised if the first place where girls HS sports suffers most is in southern rural Republican areas, but I dunno. Maybe. Rural Alabama is not my area of expertise.

I always thought of Butt Muscle, AL as more suburban than rural.

You forkers are going to make me spend all night figuring out which school should be BMHS aren't you?

I just smiled trying to imagine WWE legend Howard Finkel announcing a wrestler from Butt Muscle, Alabama.

Related to participatory equity in athletics? Or assault on campus? Both?

(I know you wrote "all" but that prompts me to ask "all of what.")

I was focused primarily on participatory equity because the DOE was created and charged with enforcing Title IX not long after the deadline for schools to get into compliance, but we really haven't seen what Title IX would look like without the DOE.

Related to what? Athletic participation?

Again, I understand the hive mind of this place insists on all-encompassing doom and destruction - one poster believes a civil war is coming in April, though it appears maybe it's been moved to the summer - but I strongly doubt any school is cutting women's sports without cutting the whole athletic department or many men's programs.

Civil War coming in two weeks.

Just as soon as we get a concept of a plan.

Investigate for what?

Marisa Ingemi doing her best Daniel Dale here for the SF Chronicle. Just the usual Trump BS. Gifted link.

I'm not aware of a President having the Constitutional authority to tell an athletics program, team, league or organization who they can and can't play in a competition.

well, then I guarantee you that suburban Alabama is not the epicenter of struggle related to girls athletics participation.

The issue will most likely come in the form of things like federal funding and the Title IX argument. My wife is in an area that is dealing with this in a field that cares for trans people. There has been a question on how they will enforce, and honestly, especially with their gutting of the federal workforce, they probably can't outside of very specific cases to audit. In regard to San Jose State, for example, they have a very known specific case.

At this point, culture at large is a much larger enforcer. It's hard to cut men's sports at major colleges. It is almost impossible to do so to women's sports, unless you're just ending the whole athletic department.

It will get a heck of a lot easier of Trump gets his way.

Just exactly how were players on OTHER Mountain West Conference volleyball teams hurt by the SJSU player?

How was any other Penn/NCAA swimmer hurt by the Penn swimmer?

If you're going to sue for damages, you have to, you know, show how you were damaged.
