San Jose State Faces Forfeits, Seeks Compensation Amid Transgender Athlete Controversy

The inclusion of a transgender player on San Jose State's women's volleyball team has led to multiple forfeits and financial disputes with opposing schools.

Five schools, including Nevada and Boise State, have forfeited matches against San Jose State due to concerns over fairness and safety involving a transgender player.
San Jose State demanded $1,250 each from Boise State and Utah State for lost revenue from the forfeited home games, citing financial and reputational harm.
The controversy has sparked a lawsuit against the NCAA by SJSU player Brooke Slusser and others, challenging the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports.
Nevada's athletic director denied pressuring their team to play, despite accusations from players about being told they lacked understanding of transgender issues.
Security concerns have risen for San Jose State players, with police protection provided after the first forfeit and ongoing threats reported during travel.
