Riley Gaines is joined by Rob Farquharson from the Texas Attorney General’s Office as they break down how the NCAA continues to posture publicly on women’s sports while refusing to enforce reality behind the scenes. What began as Gaines vs. the NCAA has now escalated into Texas vs. the NCAA, as lawsuits target organizations that allowed men into women’s sports while misleading athletes and the public. Rob explains the legal strategy driving these cases, including the consumer deception argument and a deposition moment where an NCAA representative refused to acknowledge basic biological facts, while Riley highlights the real harm women have suffered as a result - including athletes who were never told the truth about who they were competing against or living with. A clear-eyed conversation about why statements aren’t enough anymore, and why Texas is stepping in where the NCAA won’t.
