NCAA leader resigns over transgender policy: It’s ‘massive, essentially authorized, cheating’

A NCAA leader resigned this month after saying he grew frustrated with the association’s decision to allow male student athletes who identify as transgender females to compete in women’s sports.

William Bock III, who has served on the association’s Committee on Infractions since 2016, announced his resignation in a letter Feb. 9 to NCAA President Charlie Baker, the Washington Examiner reports.

A prominent sports attorney from Indiana, Bock said he used to believe the athletics association was dedicated to “competitive fairness and protection of equal opportunities for student-athletes.”

“This conviction has changed as I have watched the NCAA double down on regressive policies which discriminate against female student-athletes,” he wrote.
