The NAC Executive Committee issued a number of Volleyball changes at its meeting this month. Men’s Volleyball will be permitted to use a Challenge Review System for all regular season games, in line with the NCAA’s rules. Following conference realignment, the committee approved ARCs for Men’s Volleyball. (link)

President Donald Trump has signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order” prohibiting transgender women from female sports. Trump: “The radical left has waged an all out campaign to erase the very concept of biological sex and replace it with a militant transgender ideology. With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over.” (link)

Notably, the NCAA Board of Governors updated the transgender student-athlete participation policy. Effective immediately, the new policy will limit women’s sport competition to individuals assigned female at birth and leave men’s sport participation open to all eligible student-athletes. Also, the latest policy overrides any previous eligibility reviews and does allow “student-athletes assigned male at birth to practice with women's teams and receive benefits such as medical care while practicing.” President Charlie Baker: “We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions. To that end, President Trump's order provides a clear, national standard. […] The updated policy combined with these resources follows through on the NCAA's constitutional commitment to deliver intercollegiate athletics competition and to protect, support and enhance the mental and physical health of student-athletes. This national standard brings much needed clarity as we modernize college sports for today's student-athletes.” (link)
