The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Monday it had voted to ban transgender women from women’s competitions starting during the 2024–25 academic year, leading to questions about whether the NCAA will follow suit.

At the NAIA’s national convention, its executive body, the Council of Presidents decided “only students whose biological sex is female” can compete in women’s sports starting Aug. 1. The decision includes transgender men or nonbinary students who are undergoing hormone treatments.

“We know there are a lot of different opinions out there,” NAIA president Jim Carr told CBS Sports. “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.”
