Official: Nevada Women’s Volleyball Match Vs. San Jose State Is Canceled Due To Lack Of Players
Nevada Sage Brush ^

Derek Raridon/Nevada Sagebrush After weeks of speculation, the Nevada women’s volleyball team’s match vs. San Jose State has officially been canceled.

Nevada did not reach the minimum six-player requirement to play a match. The university sent a statement on Thursday night. “Due to not having enough players to compete, the University of Nevada women’s volleyball team will not play its scheduled Mountain West Conference match at San José State on Saturday, Oct. 26,” the University of Nevada, Reno said. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the match will be recorded as a conference loss for Nevada.”

The match has been in the national news for weeks now after a majority of Nevada’s volleyball players voted to forfeit its match against San Jose State. However, the university said because of the Nevada Constitution, it can’t legally forfeit the match.

Brian Sandoval, university president, said despite the law, players have the First Amendment right to not play, and there would be no punishment for deciding not to play the match.

A dozen players, including Sia Liilii, Nevada co-captain, will be at The Little Waldorf on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. for a “Women Sports Are For Women Only” rally. The match against the Spartans was scheduled for the same day at noon.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer, will also be in attendance and will be one of the speakers. The match was originally set to take place in Reno, but both schools mutually agreed to relocate the match to San Jose. It allowed Nevada to not be responsible for any travel expenses since it was relocated.

With the official cancellation, Nevada will take a loss in conference play. This comes just an hour after Nevada lost a road match against Fresno State, and will now 11-10 overall and 4-6 in conference play.

Many Nevada players are also still pursuing a potential lawsuit against the university with Joey Gilbert, a local criminal justice attorney, and UNR alumni.

The Mafia and Mafia-controlled unions in Nevada are strong. Unfortunately, believe it’s too much of a an uphill climb for the GOP.

This is the way it’s done. No match equals no money equals no volleyball program eventually.

And when the volleyball program is canceled, then a men’s sports program of comparable size will also be canceled. That’s how it works under stupid Title IX rules.

This is why I’ve said for a while that the ultimate end game for all this nonsense is the elimination of ALL scholastic sports programs.

The opposing schools need to put the male volleyball team on the court and explain they were all feeling like girls today. They will be back to feeling like men tomorrow.

If Kommisar Kamala gets into power, they’ll expel any student that does this and suspend any coach who is a part of it. “Title 9 violation.”

Then seek to destroy their future work careers.

That is one he!! of a Constitution they got there in Nevada. It won’t allow schools to forfeit athletic competitions.

I smell BS.

Title IX.

Biden/Harris says it’s discrimination to not recognize trans.

Look for ALL of the players refusing to play to be kicked off the team and any coach fired who complains about it .... unless we win the election.

Trump said he’d reverse all of this.

Nevada media is being quiet about it because this one issue is enough to flip NV to Trump.

Absolutely correct! It is far better to surrender now rather than fight like hell and be bitterly disappointed on Nov. 6. /sarc

William Weld, former Republican governor of Massachusetts, is the current president of the NCAA, making 2-mill a year. Our current governor is openly a votary of Sappho, and appointed her former younger-woman gal-pal to a state sinecure when she traded her in on a new model.

Nowhere in the article does it state why the Nevada ladies are refusing to play.

It’s because a tranny on the San Jose team is dangerous to their physical well being.

Good. Maybe the PC idiots will wake up and kick these male freaks out of women’s sports, locker rooms and bathrooms.

Why have womens sports if men are allowed to play against them? Let them play in the mens leagues.
