OPINION: NCAA is destroying what it means to be a female athlete like me
NCAA athlete Macy Petty says A.I. chatbot ChatGPT 'promoted inclusivity' when asking it a prompt about transgender athletes competing in women's sports.But now, through a series of regulatory decisions, the almighty organization that controls college sports has drained the title of its honor. I was hooked. By the end of middle school, I decided I was willing to make significant sacrifices to extend my volleyball career into college and hopefully earn a scholarship.
Volleyball player Macy Petty spent her youth working hard to become an NCAA athlete. Now that she has reached that goal, the organization is undermining what it means. The organization now regulates by prioritizing the feelings and whims of the athlete over the disciplined nature of athletics. Most recently, the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports suggested the association remove bans on athletes' use of cannabis. These athletes wake up at 4 a.m. for morning practices, travel across the country to compete at their best, and represent their institutions, but will no longer be held to a coherent standard? This is absurd!
