The Spartans lose to Colorado State in what likely brings to an end San Jose’s season filled with controversy.

Despite Boise State’s forfeiture, there were no other protests or displays during Saturday’s match. In comparison with the controversial season, SJSU’s final match was uneventful.

Boise State’s women’s volleyball team has withdrawn from its Mountain West Conference Championship tournament match against San Jose State University (SJSU) amid an ongoing, gender controversy surrounding an SJSU player.

Earlier this month, 11 female volleyball players, led by San Jose State co-captain Brooke Slusser, and an assistant coach sued the Mountain West Conference and San Jose State University, alleging the defendants violated the U.S. Constitution and Title IX by allowing a transgender athlete to play for a women’s sports team.

The Spartans’ season finale sparks broader discussions about inclusion and evolving policies in female athletics.

Never before had we seen a slew of teams forfeit matches against another team with a possible trans athlete, like with SJSU. The post SJSU’s season is over. The conversation about trans athletes continues.
