Lubbock attorney's letter 'sounds alarm' on Protect College Sports Act - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

This hits close to home for anyone cheering on the Lady Raiders at United Supermarkets Arena, or watching high school sports across the city, from Monterey to Coronado. The letter argues the NCAA's past record, allowing policies where women compete against biological men and share locker rooms, shows a clear disregard for athlete safety and rights. Protecting female sports, from youth leagues on the Loop to Texas Tech's athletic programs, really matters here in Lubbock.

If the PCSA passes as is, it could significantly change how female athletes from Lubbock, whether at Tech or local high schools, experience competitive sports. It risks legal safeguards that have guaranteed fairness in facilities, scholarships, and competitive environments for generations. Young women playing softball near Canyon Lake Drive or running track at local schools could see their hard-earned opportunities erode, facing an uneven playing field. The attorney warns these exemptions would undermine decades of progress, potentially rolling back protections established back in 1972.
