Boise State Forfeits Volleyball Match Amid Transgender Athlete Controversy

The decision follows a lawsuit by San Jose State players and mounting safety concerns over a transgender teammate.

Boise State University forfeited its women's volleyball match against San Jose State due to controversy surrounding a transgender player on the SJSU team.
This is the second team this month to forfeit a match against SJSU, following Southern Utah's decision earlier in September.
Brooke Slusser, a senior on the SJSU team, has joined a lawsuit against the NCAA, claiming that the inclusion of transgender athletes compromises safety and fairness in women's sports.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little praised Boise State's decision, aligning it with his executive order to ensure fairness in women’s sports.
The NCAA has defended its policies, stating they ensure fair competition and uphold Title IX while promoting women's sports.
