NCAA says it will align policies with Trump order banning transgender women from women's sports
NCAA President Charlie Baker released a statement saying that President Donald Trump's order banning transgender women from women's sports provides a "clear, national standard" and said the NCAA will take the necessary steps to align its policies with the order, according to a statement obtained by ABC News.
"We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions. To that end, President Trump's order provides a clear, national standard," Baker said.

"The NCAA Board of Governors is reviewing the executive order and will take necessary steps to align NCAA policy in the coming days, subject to further guidance from the administration," he added. "The Association will continue to help foster welcoming environments on campuses for all student-athletes. We stand ready to assist schools as they look for ways to support any student-athletes affected by changes in the policy."
