The president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker, stated on July 6, 2026, that the organization does not expect to change its rules regarding transgender athletes following a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that permits states to ban transgender individuals from participating in school athletics. Baker noted that the NCAA had already implemented a ban on transgender athletes from women's sports in January 2025, restricting participation to those assigned female at birth or not undergoing testosterone therapy. He clarified that there are no restrictions for participation in NCAA men's sports, which he described as an 'open network.'
