    Over a dozen female athletes are suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association for letting transgender athletes compete against them and use female locker rooms in college sports. At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit states that both the NCAA and Georgia Tech, which hosted the event, knowingly violated Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and sports. The lawsuit, the first federal action of its kind, seeks to...

    Positioned all by herself at the free-throw line, Caitlin Clark with her foul shots made her way to the top of the NCAA Division 1 scoring board. Her team, No. 6 Iowa, won against No. 2 Ohio State with a score of 93-83, all thanks to her two free throws on a technical penalty. Clark undoubtedly surpassed the previous 54-year-old record held by Pete Maravich. Clark needed to score eighteen points to beat Maravich’s record of 3,667 points, which the player accumulated in a total of 83 games. She made history by gaining 3,685 points in her 130 games.

    First came a tangle and then came the tempers before two players were ejected Wednesday night in an NCAA women’s basketball game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Michigan Wolverines. Maryland, which held a 15-point halftime lead, ended up on the short end of a 79-77 score in a game that went into overtime, according to The Washington Post. Maryland’s lead was in the process of unraveling with about three minutes left in the third quarter, when the incident took place, as noted by the New York Post. Video of the incident shows Michigan’s Lauren Hansen and Maryland’s Bri McDaniel...

    What’s the NCAA’s deal with Florida State? The NCAA just blasted the Seminoles program with some hefty penalties related to NIL and recruiting, according to a Thursday evening press release from the association. Becoming one of the first punishments in college football’s new era, an FSU assistant coach has been suspended for three games and also hit with a show cause penalty for two years. The Associated Press is reporting that the assistant coach is offensive coordinator Alex Atkins. This whole situation originates from a meeting that was held between a Florida State-associated booster and transfer player. The booster apparently...

    Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele said in an interview this week that her former employer demanded she stop speaking about Will “Lia” Thomas, the male swimmer who identifies as “transgender” and competed against women at the University of Pennsylvania.

Poised beyond her years — she's 23 — Gaines has handled everything that the frothing, hate-filled advocate Left has thrown at her because she speaks the truth.

Another female NCAA athlete has been getting some attention for speaking truth to insanity. .. volleyball player Macy Petty spoke about her two biggest concerns regarding trans athletes, the first being a growing number of stolen opportunities...

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The heartache won’t go away. Not anytime soon, anyway. Not for Florida State players and coaches who were driven to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff and play for another title. The Seminoles had to settle for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, which followed a perfect regular season. “Nobody can take that from us,” senior defensive back Jarrian Jones said. The CFP selection committee dropped Florida State (13-0) from fourth to fifth and outside the four-team playoff, a move it justified because of star quarterback Jordan Travis’ season-ending broken leg. It prompted outrage from...

If he signs the offer, he will claim one of 12 scholarships available for women on the team. Drageset, who plays for the Actyve Volleyball Club in Santa Monica, California, already has helped several girls volleyball teams to championships, according to Reduxx. He was named the MVP at...

    (Key stakeholders were intrigued by the possibility of a new FBS subdivision that could allow schools to pay players directly) LAS VEGAS -- If there is a college athletics revolution in the near future, the NCAA is now admitting it wants to be part of it. In a letter sent to membership Tuesday, NCAA president Charlie Baker proposed sweeping changes to his association's amateurism model that would essentially create pay for play between schools and athletes. Baker proposed a new subdivision consisting of schools "with the highest resources" that would likely separate itself from the rest of the Football Bowl...

    The Nightmare in Grapevine is upon us. What is often a formality — making four obvious choices for the four-team College Football Playoff — is anything but for the committee this year. The 13-member group, huddled in a hotel in Grapevine, Texas, will have to make the most consequential and controversial decision in its 10-year existence — and in the final season before the playoff expands to 12 teams. Their decision will be revealed at noon Sunday on ESPN. Big Ten champion Michigan (13-0) and Pac-12 champion Washington (13-0) are assumed to be safely in. They’ll almost assuredly be the...
