San Jose State volleyball player Blaire Fleming probably played the final college volleyball game of the athlete’s career after a Mountain West Tournament final loss to Colorado State Saturday night.
Fleming led the Spartans on a run to the championship match in a senior season overshadowed by lawsuits from a teammate and a national controversy over Fleming being transgender.
Fleming led the team in spikes and prompted four Mountain West rivals to forfeit a total of seven conference games, including a tournament semifinal.
But Colorado State never shied away from playing Fleming or the Spartans.
The Rams played San Jose two times in the regular season, splitting the season series, and then taking the championship match three sets to one.
Colorado State’s Malaya Jones, the Mountain West player of the year, led the game with 26 kills after kneeling during the national anthem before the match.
Jones was also alleged to have conspired with Fleming in a plan to spike a ball in the face of San Jose State teammate Brooke Slusser in a game Oct. 3, according to a lawsuit filed by Slusser and a Title IX complaint.
Slusser was never spiked in the face, and the Mountain West concluded an investigation into the Title IX complaint, saying it did not find sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. Slusser’s attorney has questioned the validity of the investigation.
Fleming, meanwhile, led San Jose State in the game with 17 kills but committed nine errors and hit poorly in the first two sets when the Spartans fell in a two-sets-to-none hole.
San Jose State’s loss will also mean it won’t advance to the NCAA tournament, which would have introduced further controversy with potential matchups against teams outside the conference...

There, fixed it.
After all this negative press, will be interesting if he gets any event job out of college...
😑 Is this nonsense still going on, too? “America so bad!” /s 🙄
There's crap everywhere in women's collegiate and professional sports.
I wondered about that too.
The writer of this article chose words carefully, so as not to use the wrong pronoun to describe this individual.
On the bright side, it was “the athlete’s” and not “her.” That is an enormous step forward for the NY Post.
Very convoluted writing: in the whole article the author never once used a pronoun in connection with whatever-his-original-name.
dont worry, there will be a few freepers who will cover that “her” no problem...
Good riddance to this selfish, cheating creeper.
One doubts that such sanctions will happen, however it's not a history that the conference or state univ will ever live down.
Good for them. That's the way to do it.
I just read another article, which said SJSU’s record was 12-6 wins, with 7 of those wins being forfeits.
That’s a shame.
Can’t think of Colorado State without remembering Dan’s Bake Sale
…And I remember when kneeling in the end-zone after a touchdown was flagged/penalized for “showboating” or “religious display.” 🤔
But as long as it means “America so bad,” you’re good to go! 🤪
Now he can go back to being a guy.
I sure as hell hope so.
Nah. The University System is rotten.
You're better off at going to a SEC University. Even though your professors are woke, the culture at the campus is not. So the students there are okay.
