The new guidelines require transgender women to have completed their transition before the age of 12 to be eligible to compete in the women's category. This rule is intended to prevent any perceived unfair advantages that might arise from undergoing male puberty.
From what I read, Blaire Fleming would not meet these terms...
her teammate, the setter, is suing the NCAA about this as well. so she's setting their best hitter, while suing saying she should not be on the team.
talk about coompartmentalizing
this is going to keep increasing attention
2nd forfeit (Utah Valley, now Boise.
San Jose State is undefeated. not only does this incrase SJSU's likely seed for the MWC tourny, it decreases BOise
the more forfeits San Jose gets, makes it easier even for their at-large profile
imagin San Jose gets two forfeits in their conference tournament, to get a NCAA bid or imagin a final of the MWC where a team forfeits the bid matchh for the NCAA
they have a 2nd match with San Jose, where I guess they'll forfeit again
wonder what Wyoming and Utah State do? If Boise opts out, my bet is the pressure will mount in those states for them to forfeit, will make a mockery of the MWC season
I doubt Fresno or SDSU or NEvada schools or Air Force forfeits.
Wyoming was a legit contendor as is Utah State & BOise to make the BWCT and possibly win it
the issue was not an issue the prior 3 seasons with this player, the teams went with the rules at that time
now that San Jose State is 9-0 it's only going get more publicity
