It is encouraging to see more institutions prioritizing fairness and athlete safety over forced inclusion. I hope more universities follow suit.” Boise State and Southern Utah leader who stands up for what is right and protects the integrity of women’s sports.”

Idaho Gov. Brad Little also praised Boise State for its decision. Little's Idaho State has been one of the most proactive states in the country in addressing transgender inclusion in women's sports.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on August 30, Little didn't rule out conducting gender readiness testing for all girls and women's sports teams, but added that “I would need to see really good evidence that that's necessary.”

Now Wyoming, southern Utah and Boise State have increased that resistance.
