NAIA for common sense
https://apnews.com/article/naia-transgen...0c6a5d1c5f
"The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announced a policy Monday that all but bans transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports at its 241 mostly small colleges across the country.
The NAIA Council of Presidents approved the policy in a 20-0 vote at its annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri. The NAIA, which oversees some 83,000 athletes competing in more than 25 sports, is believed to be the first college sports organization to take such a step.
According to the transgender participation policy, all athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports but only athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth is female and have not begun hormone therapy will be allowed participate in women’s sports...."

RE: NAIA for common sense
Yep... 'women' and 'open'.
Nobody is concerned about women competing with men. They're only concerned about men competing with women.
Kaitlin Clark is a great shooter, but it remains to be seen if she could compete if her defender is 6 inches taller, 40 pounds heavier with longer arms and faster... and she seems to be head/shoulders above most other female players.
The Williams sisters have already said that 'the best' men would kill the best women in Tennis...
Men's soccer kills women's...
And while softball is often used as an example and there is a LITTLE merit to it...
The reality is that men haven't studied the arm positions of softball pitchers, nor the different movement you get from an under-hand vs overhand pitch with the same spin on a vastly different sized ball. While I wouldn't argue it would be like 'beer league' softball which is essentially a home-run derby for former baseball players, the reality is that 'the best' men are simply bigger, faster and stronger than 'the best' women. Give them time to learn the differences and they no-doubt would dominate.
Woman's sports were created because of genetic differences in the genders... NOT because of 'gender identity' differences. Identify however you want, but the moment you ask to participate in a 'set-aside', you must meet the criteria set forth for that participation. Period.
We don't generally let women who take testosterone compete against other women... why would we let men who have experienced natural testosterone do it??
It's really that simple.

The NAIA has lead in many aspects of sports.
In integration, in women’s sports, in emerging sports, and on down the line.
Between the NJCAA and the NAIA, they cover virtually every “first” in sports.
The NCAA has always been the least proactive.

Didn't go far enough. Remember they're never happy. Quotas inbound. Changing the rules to make it more fair inbound.
