The NCAA has finally decided to do the right thing and kick men out of women’s sports, just one day after President Trump signed an executive order demanding a fair shake for female athletes. What once was an upside-down world where self-identified transgender women could compete against biological women has now turned into a more level playing field, thanks to this decisive action from the NCAA.
NCAA President Charlie Baker stated that the organization aims to create “clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards” for college sports. This is a welcome change for those who have been crying out for fairness, where women athletes can finally compete without fear of being outmuscled by men who think a gender switch can magically grant them women’s sports accolades. After all, if policy changes didn’t precede President Trump’s order, it would have been business as usual—continuing the charade that competition could remain balanced under the previous guidelines.

This announcement is effective immediately, so everyone can stop pretending that allowing biological men to compete against women was ever a sensible idea. Riley Gaines, a former swimmer whose fight against the unfair policies gained traction after experiencing it firsthand, couldn’t hold back her glee at the concession. Her call for the NCAA to strip records and titles from men who have taken opportunities from deserving women is not only justified but necessary to uphold the integrity of women’s sports.
As the NCAA begins to adjust its policies, it is worth noting that this decision comes amidst an investigation into civil rights violations in various educational institutions. Specifically, the NCAA is reviewing instances where biological males have competed in women’s sports, which could lead to consequences for those schools. The overall atmosphere is reportedly ecstatic among female athletes, especially those like Nevada volleyball captain Sia Liilii, who took a strong stand against competing alongside transgender players. The urgency for a unified national standard has never felt so apparent.
Trump’s executive order laid down the law, warning that schools could face funding losses if they continue to allow these unfair practices. His order highlights that allowing men to compete in women’s categories violates overarching principles of safety, dignity, and fairness while denying women their rightful opportunities. Just imagine the nerve it takes to allow this nonsense to happen under the guise of progressiveness—only to have common sense come roaring back with a roar loud enough for the NCAA to finally hear it.
The battle for women’s sports is far from over, but with the NCAA finally bending at the knee to common sense, things are looking up. This move sends a strong message that the days of putting ideology over fairness are waning, paving the way for women to reclaim their spot in the world of sports—free from the threat of competition that is anything but fair.
