transgender athletes

Despite a growing number of athletes coming out as LGBTQ in college, fewer than 3% of NCAA D-I athletes compete in departments that fully protect their LGBTQ identities. Ohio State University, Boston University, the University of Miami and the University of Southern California were among the schools that performed the best.

Athlete Ally reported that the vast majority of NCAA Division I athletic departments did not have fully inclusive trans athlete policies as of March 2021, according to a summary of this year’s equality index.
