CALLING FEMALE ATHLETES
Tell the NCAA Board of Governors: Protect Women’s Collegiate Sports
If you are a current or former NCAA female athlete, please fill out the form below to send a private email to each member of the NCAA Board of Governors urging them to follow the lead of the NAIA and protect women’s collegiate sport and establish a new policy keeping women’s sports female.
*You must personalize the email in the form before you can send it — add your sport and school, include personal stories, and concerns about safety and privacy.
Competitive sport is a zero-sum game, where some athletes make the cut, others do not; someone wins, others lose. In a zero-sum competition, the inclusion of male-bodied athletes in women’s sport inevitably means FEMALES LOSE OUT.
Female athletes work our entire lives to compete in sports, only to have the NCAA destroy our
even playing field.

What You Can Do
-
Taking opportunities from women and giving them to men doesn't enforce Title IX, it violates it. We will be traveling to cities and towns across the country throughout the month of June.
Our goal is to activate supporters to stand up for women’s sports and take back Title IX. We won’t back down until women’s equality, safety, and privacy are protected. LEARN MORE -
Now is the time for female NCAA athletes to stand together and tell the NCAA that we will not accept reduced athletic opportunities for women.
Send a private email to the NCAA Board of Governors HERE.
YOU can make a difference by writing to the NCAA and by sharing this website to ten other female athletes.

Competition Report
As the number of male-bodied athletes seeking to compete on women’s teams and in women’s events grows, the risks to female athletes also grow.
Claims to the contrary deny science, defy logic, and undermine Title IX.
Independent Women’s Law Center and Independent Women’s Forum synthesize the science and explain the changing legal landscape of American sports in the Second Edition of Competition: Title IX, Male-Bodied Athletes, and the Threat To Women’s Sports.
