The lawsuit seeks to prevent the alleged transgender player from competing in an upcoming Mountain West Conference tournament.
San José State University women's volleyball captain Brooke Slusser and aprepares to serve against the Air Force Falcons during the fifth set of an NCAA college volleyball match Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, in San Jose, Calif.
Several schools have forfeited matchups against the SJSU volleyball team this season. Though none have openly shared a reasoning for their decisions, some have speculated it could be related to an ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA, in which Slusser disclosed feeling concerned for her safety after realizing one of her teammates was transgender.
The Mountain West Conference said while it is "unable to comment on the pending litigation of this particular situation," it "take seriously all concerns of student-athlete welfare and fairness." SJSU did not respond to a request for comment from The National News Desk via email, but told “Concentrating on what we can do on the court has, quite frankly, been very tough lately,” he said. “There have been outside forces who have sought to divide our team, our university, our conference and our sport. I know it’s been weighing on the players in our locker room who have put in years of hard work.”
