Boise State, which twice boycotted regular-season matches with San Jose State, pulled out of the Mountain West women’s volleyball tournament Wednesday night even after securing a spot in the semifinals against the Spartans.
San Jose State, which received six forfeit victories because of boycotts from Mountain West opponents, is seeded second in the conference tournament and received a first-round bye. Now the Spartans will advance all the way to Saturday’s championship match rather than take the court Friday.
Boise State released a statement that read: “The decision to not continue to play in the 2024 Mountain West Volleyball Championship tournament was not an easy one. Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”.....
While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request.
Wyoming and Nevada did not qualify for the tournament.
Participation of transgender women in women’s sports is apparently why the five teams canceled their games against San Jose State, and the topic became a hot political topic ahead of the recent election.

Fight on, girls!
The debate has ended.
The boycotts begin.
Name them.
Shame them.
Make the adults accountable.
Excellent! These young ladies deserve huge respect for standing up for what’s right...scientific...and logical!
Fight ! Fight ! Fight !
Don’t allow the Left to erase women .
In the end, there will be no way to 100 percent prove it except for finding out medical info on the kid/person who is really a man.
That will mess up a kid that’s already messed up badly...and in this day and age who knows if they were encouraged by their own parents?
But it must be.
Dems live in a world where everyone can go unscathed forever in perfect harmony...which is ironic because they destroy everything that they touch.
But in the real world, sometimes people get hurt..even ones that might not deserve it...like a kid who was indoctrinated into thinking that he was something he is not.
But for the good of the whole, this must be done.
Because right now, insanity reigns.
I’m suing my local Little League association for age discrimination for refusing to allow me to play this past summer. The fact that I’m just a kid at heart should account for something, shouldn’t it?
I would love to see these girls hold their own championship platoff with maybe some great donors who get together and offer scholarships. In order to qualify they must have forfitted a position in the school playoffs. Make the rewards higher, the scholarships better, and the trophy bigger.
“The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity”
Enough with the goofy notion of “gender identity”. Man, y’all let them get away with anything. Who came up with this and established it as fact? Some “expert”, no doubt. I don’t care who gets their feelings hurt, this needs to stop.
“In the end, there will be no way to 100 percent prove it except for finding out medical info on the kid/person who is really a man.”
Just collect some DNA from a used cup without their knowledge and biological sex can be determined. Law enforcement does just this regularly to identify criminals.
Dang, I should have tried out for women’s basketball. They would have run right over me, but I’d have gone with a smile.
Good for Boise State. If others withdraw also and SJS wins by default, do they get an asterisk next to the announcement?
In the dark of night, capture the man, remove all his clothes and take lots of pictures. Then, take him out on the street to be released naked and call lots of the media to come witness the spectacle.
Wow, gifted all the way to the final match. They must be so proud of their hard work.
Ha! That was great!
I have nothing wrong with a “Trans woman” (biological male) participating in any gender speicific sport, provided it is a gender specific sport mathcing their biological gender.
You go girls!
San Jose State are a bunch of bullies..
