San Jose State reached the finals of the tournament, but lost to Colorado State.
Paxton accused the NCAA of “engaging in false, deceptive and misleading practices by marketing sporting events as ‘women’s’ competitions, only to then offer consumers mixed-gender competitions pitting biological men against biological women.”
“The NCAA is intentionally and knowingly endangering the safety and well-being of women by fraudulently converting women’s competitions into co-ed competitions,” Paxton said in a statement. “For example, when people watch a women’s volleyball game, they expect to see women playing against other women – not biological men pretending to be something they are not. Radical ‘gender theory’ has no place in college sports.”
Paxton said he is seeking a court’s issuance of a preliminary injunction to prohibit the NCAA from allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports in Texas or “incorporating Texas teams,” or, alternatively, requiring the NCAA to stop hosting events as “women’s” when they are actually mixed sex competitions,” the press release states.
