Why do college sports exist anyway? It's not to make money or serve politicians' agendas.
The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. is under pressure to draft an impossible piece of policy: a stance on transgender athletes that makes progressives and conservatives happy. The best it’s come up with so far is to say late last month that its rules are “under review,” after a smaller student-athlete association effectively banned trans women from competing in women’s sports.
The hope of getting scholarships is a main reason many parents push their children to specialize in one sport, despite research suggesting that could be harmful. If the NCAA is trying to make everyone happy with a ruling on trans athletes, it will undoubtedly fail.
