San Jose State University's women's volleyball team is in the Mountain West final after their semifinal opponent, Boise State, forfeited its semifinal match.
It was the third time the Lady Broncos forfeited against the Spartans this season, also having forfeited their two regular-season matches.
The forfeits have come amid SJSU rostering transgender player Blaire Fleming, who has become one of the conference's top players.

Those against transgender athletes in biological girls sports have cited unfair advantages for said athletes and those teams. However, a columnist for USA Today called those who refuse to play trans athletes the "real threat."
"For all the shrieking there is about transgender women athletes, it’s the cisgender women pushing the forfeits who cost their fellow athletes opportunities to play and saddled their teams with losses," Nancy Armour posted in a column headlined "Opinion: Ruling in San Jose State volleyball case reveals farce of transgender hysteria."
"It’s those women, not the San Jose State player, who are the real threat."
While her X account is private, Armour still received lots of flak for her take online.
