The NCAA banned transgender athletes from competing in women's college sports Thursday, a day after President Donald Trump's executive order did the same.
"The new policy limits competition in women's sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only. The policy permits student-athletes assigned male at birth to practice with women's teams and receive benefits such as medical care while practicing. This policy is effective immediately and applies to all student-athletes regardless of previous eligibility reviews under the NCAA's prior transgender participation policy," the NCAA wrote in a statement.
