Volleyball Players Sue Mountain West Over Transgender Policy

A group of female athletes challenges the conference's new rules, citing Title IX and free speech violations.

The lawsuit involves current and former women's volleyball players from San Jose State and other Mountain West schools.
Plaintiffs argue that the Mountain West Conference's Transgender Participation Policy was hastily implemented to suppress free speech.
The policy allows teams to forfeit matches against San Jose State due to the presence of transgender player Blaire Fleming.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent Blaire Fleming and San Jose State from participating in the upcoming conference tournament.
The Independent Council on Women's Sports is funding the lawsuit, which calls for emergency injunctive relief before the November 27 tournament.
