Opinion: College leaders have no idea how to handle transgender athlete issues

Story by Dan Wolken (9 Oct 2024)

All across the country last week, athletics directors went to their volleyball coaches with a question: What would you do?

The conversation stemmed from a somewhat obscure story that had taken over the sport, as one team after another in the Mountain West Conference — three so far, plus non-conference opponent Southern Utah — elected to quietly forfeit games against San Jose State without publicly stating a reason.

But the reason, of course, was not a secret: A lawsuit filed in Georgia claiming that NCAA rules allowing transgender athletes to participate on women's teams violates Title IX had put a current San Jose State player in the eye of a firestorm, even though she had not identified as transgender in any public forum.

The claim in the lawsuit was made by another San Jose State player, co-captain Brooke Slusser, who had been a roommate of the player in question last season and only learned about her teammate's reported sexual identity after she was outed in April by the Web site Reduxx.

In this case, the powder keg exploded despite the fact that the player in question had already played at San Jose State for two seasons without incident and another school prior to that.
