NCAA President Charlie Baker apparently thinks that female athletes are more of a burden to college sports than they are equal members who deserve respect from the top governing body.
Baker faced a Senate hearing where he had hoped to talk about restrictions on gambling on college athletes, though anyone could have predicted that the conversation would turn to the NCAA allowing men in women’s sports and facilities. Sure enough, Republicans broached the topic with Baker repeatedly, with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asking why the NCAA allows men in women’s locker rooms. “Your guidelines say that ‘transgender student-athletes should be able to use the locker room, shower, and toilet facilities in accordance with their gender identity,’” Hawley said.
