Talk about getting grilled!
The NCAA currently has a lawsuit against them for allegedly violating Title IX because of biological males being allowed to play in female sports, but you wouldn’t think so with the way they’re completely ignoring the situation. And now they’re getting cooked for it by U.S. senators.
While a hearing centered around sports gambling was going on Tuesday, Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn put NCAA President Charlie Baker on a political George Foreman Grill. (RELATED: NIL Culture Ratchets Up As Program Gets Launched To Combat Transgenders In Women’s Sports)
Earlier in 2024, Blackburn issued a letter to the NCAA demanding them to stop the transgender nonsense in women’s college athletics, and it was signed by 22 other GOP senators including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley.
But, of course, the NCAA did nothing about it. And as a result, Blackburn couldn’t help but to take advantage when she had the chance to speak with Baker.
“I am still disappointed that there is not an NCAA policy to protect women in competition. You all have had time to do this. Our female athletes deserve it,” said Blackburn. “If you’re going to partner up on gambling and other things, and we applaud that, you have got to make certain that you are protecting women’s sports for women.”

But Blackburn wasn’t the only one who got in on the fun — she was also joined by Hawley.
“The only person who doesn’t seem to bear any responsibility in this is you, and the NCAA, who are the governing body,” said the senator.
Listen to NCAA President Charlie Baker hem and haw and blame everyone from courts to “the locals” for HIS policy allowing men in women’s sports. It’s indefensible – and he knows it pic.twitter.com/gyFUm5qvJ0

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy also took some shots at Baker, including bringing up his salary — likely worth millions of dollars.
