The Ivy League Swimming and Division Championships open Wednesday on the campus of Harvard University, and Penn's Lia Thomas will be there... to compete.
Looming in the background is what happens in regard to her eligibility for the NCAA championship meet in March. The new NCAA policy is a derivative of the International Olympic Committee guidelines that will go into effect in March. Yet question remains in regards to why the NCAA took this step, what it could mean, and will it need to be fixed.
This week, Karleigh Webb sits down with three guests each seeing the issues and questions from different vantage points.
University of Colorado professor Roger Pielke Jr. is an expert in the study of sports governance and look at both the NCAA and IOC frameworks and looks at where they could work and what the sore spots could be.
Ursinus College professor Dr. Johanna Mellis, also cohost of the End of Sports Podcast teaches sports history in relation to sport in society. She also was a competitive swimmer at the NCAA Division I level as an undergrad. She looks at issue through prism of history and from her viewpoint as an athlete.
Erica Smith is an active 2-sport collegiate athlete in lacrosse and field hockey at Division III Sweet Briar College (VA).
She's also the first transgender woman to ever be a student at the all-women's college.
This weekend she takes the field for the first time as a Sweet Briar Vixen (no kidding, that's their school mascot) as they open their lacrosse season. She gets beamed up to talk about how she got here, her chance to play here, and why those who says she shouldn't get play have it wrong.

On January 19, the NCAA Board of Governors voted to replace its 10-year-old Transgender Student-Athlete Inclusion policy with a completely new policy based loosely on the forthcoming International Olympic Committee set to take effect in March.
The NCAA's new policy instituted immediately in the middle of a competitive season and it will immediately have to be used. A transgender woman in the University of Pennsylvania, Lia Thomas has two confirmed A-cut qualifying marks in the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in Atlanta in March.
But the questions are on the table: What will the next policy look like, and how it will affect Thomas competing, and how will this affect in issue with is raging from college athletic departments to 38 state legislatures.
Joining Karleigh Webb this week is a pair of guest coming from different sides of the issue.

Sporting federations around the world are taking a cue from the International Olympic Committee and looking at their policies regarding transgender athletes, and recent Denmark did as well.
The European nation had an inclusive process in many respects, but it is also dealing with a media that has trended towards anti-trans slants and is dealing with some dedicated sectors of resistance to inclusion.
Sound familiar?
At the intersection of this are people like Nadia Jacobsen. Three years ago she came out, while at the same time being in the game as a volleyball player. Through her transition, sports wasn't just a diversion, it was a lifeline.
And that lifeline ended up golden at last year's WorldPride and EuroGames in Copenhagen. She was part of a gold medal-winning squad in her volleyball division.
Through it all, Jacobsen and many others have been targets of emerging harassment on online, and that has been a focus of an investigative series that Maia Kahlke Lorentzen has taken on as part of her popular podcast "Cybernaume". Lorentzen is a cybersecurity consultant and has done extensive research in regard to online extremism and is taking a focus on anti-trans extremism. One of her examinations in her coming series will be centered on the trans sports issue.
Both sat down with Karleigh Webb to look at how the issues in America has influenced the debate in their homeland, and how trans people and allies are fighting through it and fighting back.
