jess and colorado state will play san jose state. he problem here is that san jose state did not even play their semifinal game. and that's because they were set to play against boise state. and boise state decided to boycott the game. it was actually not the first time that they refused to play against san jose. they had done so in two other games during the regular season. and so this of course, a huge controversy. there's a total of six victories that san jose state has because of teams that refused to play against them. and this all started really in april when a conservative news outlet published online the identity of the player in question and referred to her as a transgender student and so, of course, after this comes out, a lot of the players and other teams were questioning whether she should be allowed to play in this championship. keep in mind, this is a player that had been on the team since 2022. she had three different college volleyball participations, the last two with san jose state but because of this news article n

that move sent san jose state straight to the title game today. it's unclear to me the level of dominance of the san jose volleyball player seen here, spiking the ball. we all, of course remember the case of leah thomas, the trans swimmer at the university of pennsylvania in that case, according to swimming world magazine thomas soared from the mid five hundreds, ranking in men's competition to one of the top ranked swimmers in women's competition. i said then and still believe that's not fair. the same questions about fairness and competitive balance seem to apply here. boise state saying in a statement, quote, the decision to not continue to play in the 2024 mountain west volleyball championship tournament was not an easy one. they should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes. it's not the first time that a team has forfeited playing san jose state. the team received a total of six forfeit victories throughout the season due to withdrawals from mountain west opponents. le
