Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Sunday he sued the National Collegiate Athletic Association, accusing the organization of misleading college sports fans by allowing transgender women to participate in events marketed as women's competitions.

Paxton said the NCAA violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by deceiving fans who want to support sporting events that only include athletes whose female sex was assigned at birth.

Paxton also accused the NCAA of misleading consumers by not identifying which athletes are transgender, and of “jeopardizing the safety and wellbeing of women” by allowing transgender athletes to participate in its sporting events.

“Radical ‘gender theory’ has no place in college sports,” Paxton said in a news release Sunday.

Paxton wants the court to limit the participation of trans athletes in NCAA competitions taking place in Texas or involving Texas teams, or to stop the organization from labeling events as women's sports if they include transgender women.

In a statement, the NCAA did not address the lawsuit’s allegations but said they would continue to support women's sports.

Okay, I'm not a lawyer but...

#1 Title IX prohibits discrimination in women sports for sex.

#2 The Supreme Court refused to hear the case letting stand  the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruling in Grimm's favor.

It would seem to me that precedent would apply in this case. LGBTQ Nations writes,

As Chron notes, Paxton’s suit seeks to have the NCAA either limit the participation of trans athletes in competitions taking place in Texas or involving Texas teams, or to have the NCAA stop categorizing events as “women’s sports” when a transgender athlete is involved.

[...]

The NCAA responded to Paxton’s lawsuit in a statement. While the organization did not directly address the Texas Republican’s allegations, NCAA communications director Michelle Brutlag Hosick said, “The Association and its members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women’s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA championships.”

It seems to me that as the NCAA said if they did either of these they would be violating federal law. Whatever, this case is going to the Supreme Court.
