EXCLUSIVE: Riley Gaines’ demand against the NCAA will proceed after a federal judge partially denied the accused motions to dismiss Thursday. His lawyer revealed a key condition that would be needed to achieve an agreement.
Gaines’ lawyer and 19 other plaintiffs involved, Bill Bock, of the Independent Women’s Sports Council (icons), told Pak Gazette Digital that he believes that his team can achieve everything he set out to do with the hope of doing when he first presents himself in early 2024. But he is not ruling out the possibility of accepting an agreement with the NCAA, but he said that such agreement would be “difficult to be” difficult. “
Federal Judge Tiffany Johnson ruled on Thursday that Bock clients claimed that the NCAA receives federal financial assistance and, therefore, is subject to title IX.

The NCAA changed its gender eligibility policy in February to affirm that only biologically female athletes are allowed to compete in the women’s category, one day after President Donald Trump signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
Bock cares about the NCAA that changes its policy in case of a change in federal policy.
“The difficulty with an agreement is to make a long -term enforceable agreement, so the best way to do it would be with a court order,” Bock said. “The only way in which I think we would see the agreement is whether the agreement was accompanied by a decree of consent, which is a continuous order against the NCAA that complies with Title IX.
“They violated women’s rights for more than 15 years, so they have indicated a strong disposition to not … so we need very strong guarantees of Ironclad that they protect women at school.”
Bock did not indicate that a decree of consent would be the only necessary condition for an agreement.
According to Bock, another key objective that the icons seek to achieve with their demand is the implementation of mandatory sexual evidence for women’s athletes. Gaines and other female sports activists have argued that the new NCAA policy does not make “enough” to keep men out of female university sports, without sexual evidence.
Since the NCAA instituted its current policy, there have been registered cases of Trans athletes competing in female events.
The Athletics Trans athlete, Evelyn Parts, has sued Swathmore College, claiming that the school withdrew the team athlete after the policy was changed, before being “completely reinstalled” and allowed to compete in the female competition, while the change of rules and the executive order were in force.

The parties appear as the winner of the 10,000 female meters in Bill Butler Invitational in April and as a participant in the invitation of Paul Donahue that same month and the centenary championship in early May, according to the athlete. Swarthmore athletics page.
Meanwhile, Ithaca College in New York admitted to having allowed an athlete Trans to compete in a rowing competition in Division III in March. The Trans athlete competed in the Cayuga duals, but only in the third university event eight, which is not taken into account NCAA Championship qualification.
The NCAA provided a statement to FOX News Digital that addresses the breach of Ithaca’s policy, saying that “Ithaca declared its intention to adhere to politics, which allows practice opportunities, and the NCAA appreciates Ithaca’s ability to respond.”
Now, Gaines, Bocks and the other 19 plaintiffs seek to prevent more cases like that, and believes that the recent ruling can help them achieve that.
Johnson dismissed other charges in demand, including the accusation that the NCAA is a state actor, accusations of a violation of a right to body privacy, and all charges against the University of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, which organized the 2022 swimming championship where Gaines and other women’s swimmers had to compete against the transmission of UPENN Trans Athomas. Bock said they plan to appeal this.
But with the case of title IX claims, Bock believes that his team can still achieve all its main objectives, including the judicial order and mandatory sexual evidence.
Other plaintiffs in the lawsuit include former San José state volleyball captain Brooke Slusserciting his experience with the former Trans teammate, Blaire Fleming, and the former female athlete athlete of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Caroline Hill, citing his experience with former Transie Sadie Schreiner athlete.
“We can achieve, indeed, everything we have been looking for, which is A. Determination that the NCAA policy violates Title IX, which violated the rights of women who competed in the NCAA championships in 2022, and its current policy is violating title IX,” Bock said.
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with the NCAA for a response to Bock statements, but has not received an answer.
The NCAA provided a previous answer that addressed Johnson’s decision.
“University sports remain the main stage for women’s sports in the United States, and the association and its members will continue to promote title IX, make unprecedented investments in women’s sports and guarantee fair competition in the NCAA championships. The NCAA transgender participation policy is aligned with the Trump administration order,” reads the statement.
