The NCAA president announced that the organization would review Trump's directive and take the necessary steps to ensure all colleges and universities comply.

Announced on Thursday, the National Collegiate Athletic Association said its policy applied to all athletes and was effective immediately. The policy change came the day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order preventing transgender women from competing in female categories of sports.

NCAA women’s competitions will be limited to student-athletes assigned female at birth while the men’s category remains open to all.
