House Concurrent Resolution No. 2 honors the Boise State University women's volleyball team for their commitment to maintaining the integrity of women's sports by adhering to Idaho's Fairness in Women's Sports Act and Governor Little's Executive Order. The resolution highlights the importance of participation in sports for young girls, referencing the significant increase in female athletes since the enactment of Title IX in 1972. It commends the team for their principled decision to forfeit matches against San Jose State University due to the inclusion of a biological male on the opposing team, emphasizing their courage in standing up for fairness in competition.
Additionally, the resolution calls on the Mountain West Conference to amend its policies regarding transgender participation in women's sports and to reclassify the forfeits as "no contests" rather than losses. It urges the NCAA to revoke its current policy on transgender student-athlete participation, which the resolution argues discriminates against female athletes. The resolution concludes by directing the Chief Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to various stakeholders, including university officials and NCAA leadership, to advocate for the protection of women's sports.
