My recollection was the NCAA punted regarding the guidelines, the guidelines were tightened up by the receiver of the punt, then the NCAA ignored the new guidelines.
I think propagandists would skip the "my recollection" part and just assert it as fact. Regardless, yes, the NCAA punted to USA Swimming, saying they would adopt their policy, but they didn't have a policy, so they had to come up with one, and the policy they came up with included 36 months of testosterone suppression. That timeframe disqualified Lia. So, the NCAA ignored their policy and let Lia swim anyway.
After Lia Thomas, the guidelines for participation for trans athletes were tightened up, so Lia Thomas is no longer germane to this discussion.
Please pass it on to others who are similarly not up to date.

"My recollection" is often used by propagandists to spread disinformation. It would be best to look it up before writing. This looks like an NCAA punt. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/ncaas-new-trans-athlete-guidelines-sow-confusion-lia-thomas-debate-rcna13073

Lia was in the pool, right?
