The most newsworthy part of college basketball player Kye Allums' coming out story as the first openly transgender man to play on an NCCA Division I women's basketball team may be how little attention the news story drew.
Beyond brief, matter-of-fact articles in the _New York Times_, _Washington Post_ and _USA Today_, and on websites like The Huffington Post, reaction seemed muted – if non-existent. Granted, Kye Allums is no Tiger Woods, Reggie Bush or Michael Vick. Still, you'd think the potent combination of sex and college hoops would send the sports world into a twitter.
