From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, October 9th, and I'm Keith Ippolito. Board of Regents seeking to ban transgender women from college sports The University System of Georgia Board of Regents has voted to urge collegiate sports organizations to ban transgender women from participating in women's sports. This decision follows a similar move by the Georgia High School Association, which requires students to compete based on their birth gender. The issue gained attention during the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships when Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete, won the 500-meter freestyle. Critics argue that transgender women have an unfair advantage and express discomfort with shared locker rooms. The Board's resolution aligns with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' policy, which already bans transgender women from women's sports. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones plans to introduce legislation in 2025 to ban transgender women from sports at Georgia's public colleges. Opponents of such bans argue they discriminate against transgender students, who already face high rates of prejudice and mental health challenges.

Jenna Ellis and Ryan Helfenbein - Donald Trump addressed his abortion stance, leading to widespread controversy. He stated that whatever states decide “must be the law of the land”. Many conservatives don't believe he took a strong enough stance. Was his speech a way to appease moderates?

With one Truth Social video, Donald Trump puts the abortion issue to rest ahead of November, refusing to wade into a conversation he says must be had at the state level. His calm support of the American family plays an interesting dichotomy to the vengeful rhetoric of the rabid abortion-demanding Left and takes a shreds a Democrat game plan. And a major win for women's sports (and sanity in general) as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics bans transgender athletes from women's sports. Does anyone think the cowardly NCAA is paying attention?

In a recent article by Brian Murphy for WRAL, it's reported that North Carolina and NC State might find themselves unable to depart from the ACC without the explicit approval of the UNC System president and its board of governors. This proposed policy change is set to be discussed at the upcoming board meeting. Originally introduced in October, the draft of this policy alteration merely allowed the president to offer input on conference changes. However, the current version grants both the president and the board the authority to greenlight or veto such moves. This development arrives amidst Florida State's legal challenge against the ACC and a broader trend of major athletic brands gravitating towards the SEC and Big Ten conferences. The proposal, labeled as an adjustment to the "Policy on Intercollegiate Athletics," is scheduled for deliberation at the forthcoming Board of Governors' meeting in Raleigh. The initial review will occur within the university governance committee. The proposed policy mandates that chancellors must inform the UNC System president beforehand of any agreements that entail their institution's transition, withdrawal, or affiliation with an athletic conference association. Additionally, they must submit a financial plan for approval or disapproval by the president. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
After leaving the place he'd help establish as a national wrestling power, Gray Simons spent five seasons at Indiana State as the Sycamores' head coach prior to taking over his first “big school” - the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. While sports-crazy, Tennessee was still new to the wrestling game. Gray Simons and a talented recruiter named Steve Gaydosh wouldn't just change Tennessee's fortunes - they would turn Tennessee into a waking giant in college wrestling. As programs started to fall around them, Tennessee held strong, as did its athletes, overcoming some severe adversity on their way to stardom. Gray Simons and company were building something special on Rocky Top.

Ever watched the movie Hoosiers and imagined yourself making that game-winning shot for a championship? For Indiana native Mark Womack, it's not just a fantasy, it's a fact of his life that, even if he never worked at Cedarville, would have always connected him to the University.Mark, who serves as Cedarville's sports information director, graduated from Cedarville in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. His student-athlete experience was outstanding, as he played on the men's basketball team and golf team, both of which played in two National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournaments.Whether Cedarville went to one of those tournaments pivoted on Mark's jump shot. He made the last-second 15-foot swisher that sealed the victory over rival Defiance College that sent the Yellow Jackets to the 1981 NAIA tournament.It's one of the biggest wins in Cedarville history and was secured by a guy who didn't really expect to take the shot. More about that in the podcast.Mark's famous jumper was the last field goal made in the old Tyler Gymnasium, which is now Tyler Digital Communication Center. Home games happened in Stranahan Gymnasium beginning in 1982, located in the new (at the time) Callan Athletic Center. Mark's playing days were only the beginning of a lifetime connection with Cedarville athletics. He is currently in his 39th year as Cedarville's one and only sports information director (SID). In 2000, the NAIA-Sports Information Directors Association awarded him the Clarence “Ike” Pearson Award for his outstanding achievements as a SID. Could Mark serve somewhere else? Perhaps. But this buzzer-beater has found his beat at Cedarville. He loves where the Lord has placed him — his former teammates are his forever friends who've been with him through thick and thin and he sees how God has provided him a way to make a difference through his passion for sports and for Cedarville.
