🆕 Nine governors have sent a joint letter to the NCAA asking them to revise “misguided policies” and prioritize single-sex competition and equal athletic opportunity for female athletes.

READ THE LETTER

This letter follows calls on the NCAA from IWF's Riley Gaines & Paula Scanlan, who have spoken out and shared their stories around the country.
