Claims from a San Jose State women’s volleyball player that her teammate is transgender have made this a controversial season for the Spartans.
Now, the university and Mountain West Conference are part of a lawsuit alleging violations of protected rights.
The San Jose State women’s volleyball court sat empty and it remained that way Thursday because the University of Wyoming forfeited its second match against the Spartans this season.
It’s the sixth match this season that opponents have forfeited, contributing to 11 total conference wins for SJSU so far.

The forfeitures stem from unconfirmed claims by a Spartans’ volleyball player that one of her own teammates is transgender.
And now that player, Co-Captain Brooke Slusser, along with suspended Associate Head Coach Melissa Batie-Smoose and 10 other college volleyball players are suing over Title IX and First Amendment violations.
Slusser spoke about the controversy exclusively on Fox News, saying the university is allowing one player to cause issues.
