Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at birth rather than their gender identity.<\/p>\n Baker appeared on CBS\u2019 “Face the Nation” and was asked whether the NCAA will have to “tweak” its policy.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t think so. I mean, generally speaking, we try to establish policies from most of our programs that can hopefully have a national standard to it,” Baker said. “I\u2019ve said to folks, Democrats and Republicans in Washington after I got this job, that we needed some sort of clarity around on what the national standard for this would be and we adopted and complied with the standard that was put forth by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/a><\/p>\n U.S. President Donald Trump signs the “No Men in Women\u2019s Sports” executive order in the East Room at the White House on Feb. 5, 2025 in Washington, DC.

The most common criticism has been that the policy allegedly allows trans athletes to bypass the restriction by changing the gender on their birth certificate.<\/p>\n FILE – In this March 12, 2020, file photo, The national office of the NCAA in Indianapolis is viewed. <\/p>\n![\"NCAA](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/NCAA-Charlie-Baker-070526-1.jpg\")
