Utah State Joins Lawsuit Over Mountain West's Transgender Policy

The university seeks to challenge the conference's rules on transgender athletes in women's sports.

Utah State University has filed a petition to join a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference regarding its transgender participation policy.
The lawsuit, initiated by female athletes, alleges Title IX violations and claims that the conference's policy is discriminatory.
Kaylie Ray, a Utah State volleyball player and plaintiff, supports the university's decision, hoping it inspires other schools to challenge NCAA policies.
An emergency hearing is scheduled to determine if Utah State can join the lawsuit and potentially affect the upcoming Mountain West volleyball tournament.
The Mountain West Conference has denied allegations of bias in its investigation of a related collusion claim involving Blaire Fleming, a transgender athlete.
