Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall joined 27 other attorneys general in asking the NCAA to erase records of transgender women who competed in women’s college sports.

Marshall, who is running for the U.S. Senate, signed the letter by Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch to Charlie Baker, president of the NCAA.

“We, the undersigned Attorneys General, write today to urge the NCAA to restore to female athletes all championships, titles, wins, awards, records, and other recognitions that were wrongfully awarded to male athletes competing in NCAA women’s category events, as the U.S. Department of Education urged in its February 11, 2025 letter to the NCAA,” the letter says.

“The policies that were created, promoted, and encouraged by the Biden Administration and the NCAA not only enabled biological men to compete against women in sporting events across the country, but denied deserving women the recognitions they had earned in events that you managed.”

The letter is the latest a series of steps by Republican leaders and the Trump administration to reverse and restrict transgender rights.

In February, the president signed an executive order designed to prevent transgender athletes from participating in girls’ or women’s sports.

In response, the NCAA changed its policy that had previously allowed transgender women to compete and restricted participation to those who were assigned female gender at birth.

The attorneys general, in the letter to the NCAA, said the new policy does not go far enough.

“We encourage you to extend this policy to practice as well,” the attorneys general wrote. “Athletics is not only about what happens during competition.

“The opportunities to train, hone your skills, and develop the bonds of a team occur on the practice field as well. Further, injuries from unfair biological advantages are just as real in practice. Your policy stops short of full fairness for women athletes.”

Three weeks ago, the University of Pennsylvania reached an agreement with the federal government and said it would apologize to female athletes who were disadvantaged by the participation of swimmer Lia Thomas, who became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I title in 2022.

The Alabama Legislature passed a law in 2023 banning transgender women from competing in college sports.

That expanded a law passed in 2021 that applied to K-12 public schools.

This year, Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law a bill defining sex as determined at birth.
