Schools forfeit to San Jose State women’s volleyball team with male player

Three collegiate women’s volleyball teams have forfeited games against San Jose State University, which has a trans-identifying male, Blaire Fleming, on its roster.

The University of Wyoming announced in a statement Tuesday that the women’s team will forfeit its upcoming Saturday game.

“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. Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming,” the school stated.

Southern Utah University canceled its game at the Santa Clara Tournament the weekend of Sept. 14, and Boise State University forfeited its Sept. 28 game. Mountain West Conference policy states forfeitures must be recorded as a loss.

Now, SJSU’s women’s volleyball team has a 10-0 record for the season. But many don’t consider it a victory, pointing to concerns about the team’s male athlete. 

“These girls have devoted their entire lives to the sport they love and have reached one of the highest levels of achievement,” Payton McNabb, ambassador for Independent Women’s Forum, wrote in an email to The College Fix.

“Now, all of that is being taken away due to one man’s made-up view of reality. Why must we pretend it’s something it’s not? It’s cheating and it needs to stop,” she wrote.

Brooke Slusser, co-captain of the SJSU team, recently joined a lawsuit with 12 other female athletes against the NCAA, alleging violations of Title IX regarding fairness in women’s sports, Outkick reported.

Slusser is worried about safety and competitive balance, as the 6-foot-1 Fleming’s physical capabilities exceed her female teammates and opponents, according to the complaint.

“She really views the NCAA transgender eligibility policies as an impediment to women’s achievement in sport and as an insurmountable obstacle that closes the door of athletic opportunity to many women,” Slusser’s attorney Bill Bock said.

“The reason for that is that there are just inherent physical differences between men and women,” he said.

Slusser claims she was “forced both to compete and to share a residence with Fleming without any prior notice that the athlete was male,” Outkick reported.
