Following a victory in federal court dismissing the case of swimmer Riley Gaines and a dozen other female athletes suing for sex discrimination, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) issued a statement claiming that it is in “full compliance with the Trump administration’s executive order on women’s sports.”  That claim is a lie.
