The University of Wyoming women's volleyball team has forfeited its upcoming match against San José State University due to concerns about a transgender athlete on the opposing team. The decision follows a lawsuit filed by student-athletes, including former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, alleging that the NCAA's policies discriminate against women.
The University of Wyoming women's volleyball team on Tuesday announced it will forfeit its match against San José State University scheduled for this weekend.
“After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San José State University in the UniWyo Sports Complex on Saturday, Oct. 5,” the University of Wyoming said in a. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming.”
USA Volleyball, which is that body for the sport, allows transgender athletes to compete based on gender identity after meeting a list of requirements. “We need to ensure player safety for all of our female athletes and continue the fight for fairness in women’s sports,” he wrote on X.Gov. Little also said Boise State was working “within the spirit” of his Defending Women’s Sports Act, which states that “males ... have innate physical differences that give them an unfair advantage when competing with women.”“Idaho’s hardworking, talented female athletes deserve a fair playing field where they can compete and WIN,” Sen. Risch said.
