Ithaca College in New York admitted to letting a trans athlete compete in a Division III rowing competition over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The college allowed this despite the fact that the NCAA changed its\u00a0gender eligibility policy\u00a0back in February to prevent biological males from competing in women\u2019s sports, in compliance with President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order addressing the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trans athlete competed in the Cayuga Duals on Saturday, but only in the third varsity eight event, which is not factored into\u00a0NCAA championship\u00a0qualification.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ithaca provided a statement to Fox News Digital saying the participation of the trans athlete was due to a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d by the coaching staff about what was considered an official NCAA event, and referenced the policy\u2019s allowing of male practice players.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the intent of Ithaca College to comply with all NCAA rules. Under those rules, the student-athlete in question has the ability to be on the roster and participate in practices and open-gender competition. This past weekend, there was a misunderstanding by the coaching staff about what constituted an official NCAA event, because there is no third varsity rowing event at NCAA championships,\u201d the statement read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ithaca finished in first place in the first and second varsity eight events over Hamilton College and William Smith College, but finished in third place in the third varsity eight event that the trans athlete competed in.<\/p>\n
The NCAA has provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing Ithaca\u2019s breach of policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe policy is clear that there are no waivers available, and students assigned male at birth may not compete on a women\u2019s team with amended birth certificates or other forms of ID. \u00a0If competition occurs, the team will be considered a mixed team and not eligible to compete against women\u2019s teams. Ithaca stated their intent to adhere to the policy which allows for practice opportunities and the NCAA appreciates Ithaca\u2019s responsiveness,\u201d the statement read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NCAA did not indicate that the results of the event will be voided or that Ithaca will face any consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ithaca\u2019s recent incident is the first known occurrence of a trans athlete competing in a women\u2019s competition since the NCAA amended its gender eligibility policy on Feb. 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cA student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women\u2019s team,\u201d the new policy read.<\/p>\n
The previous policy, which was put in place in 2010, allowed biological males to compete in the women\u2019s category after undergoing at least one year of testosterone suppression treatment.<\/p>\n
That policy has resulted in multiple lawsuits against the NCAA and its member schools for specific incidents involving trans inclusion affecting biologically female athletes.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration is currently investigating two schools named in those lawsuits, the University of Pennsylvania and San Jose State University, for enabling trans athletes Lia Thomas and Blaire Fleming to compete in the women\u2019s category.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The administration has already paused $175 million in federal funding to UPenn as a consequence for allowing Thomas to compete on the women\u2019s swim team in 2021-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
