SJSU volleyball team turn on own coach as they sue college over trans teammate amid forfeit controversy
Story by Isabel Baldwin • 17h
The college volleyball controversy over a transgender player took a new twist this week when San Jose State University's women's team sued their own coach.
SJSU women's volleyball team has had multiple games in the Division-1 Mountain West Conference forfeited by other schools due to safety concerns over playing against Blaire Fleming, who is biologically male.
Amid the controversy, which has sparked national debate, some of SJSU's own players have turned on the school, filing a lawsuit against their head coach, the college and the Mountain West Conference.
The lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday, asks for Fleming to be declared ineligible for the Mountain West Conference tournament, SJSU's wins to be vacated and the team to be deemed ineligible for the conference tournament.
