: SJSU cleared for tournament after appeals court denies injunction over trans player A federal judge has rejected a request to block the San Jose State women’s volleyball team from competing in the upcoming Mountain West Conference tournament because it includes a trans player on its roster.

Multiple teams elected not to play against San Jose State this season amid claims the team had a transgender player. Mountain West schools Utah State, Nevada, Boise State and Wyoming refused to play the Spartans, resulting in forfeits. Nonconference opponent Southern Utah also elected to forfeit.

San Jose State University’s volleyball team is the latest flash point in a dispute about transgender players in women’s sports.
