San Diego State will play in volleyball tournament after SJSU trans athlete prompts Boise State to forfeit

Former NFL player Jack Brewer joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss his reaction to the team forfeiting, 'Squad' member Ayanna Pressley's concerns about the future of the Democratic Party and how she is giving back this Thanksgiving.

San Diego State's women's volleyball team released a statement on Friday suggesting it is willing to participate in a potential Mountain West Tournament final match against San Jose State. The statement comes two days after Boise State forfeited its semifinal match to the Spartans amid a national controversy over a trans athlete. 

San Diego State will take on top-seeded Colorado State in the semifinal on Friday night for the chance to face San Jose State for the conference championship in Las Vegas, Nevada. The program said the team has made a "decision to play."

"We love playing the sport of volleyball. We remain focused on continuing our strong start to the season and competing for a Mountain West championship. Our decision to play is not intended to be any kind of statement besides demonstrating our commitment to volleyball," the statement read.
