The school requested $1,250 from two schools after losing out on home games

Five schools have forfeited or canceled matches against San Jose State
University's women's volleyball team, who roster trans player Blaire
Fleming.

Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State and Nevada have all
opted not to play the school within the last several weeks.

The latter four matches were all ruled no contests, but conference
victories for San Jose State - they all play in the Mountain West.

The matches against Boise State and Utah State were slated to be home
contests for the Spartans. Well, since they were not played, OutKick is
reporting that SJSU has asked for money from two of those opponents,
saying they lost out on revenue.

OutKick says San Jose State confirmed that they asked both Boise State
and Utah State for $1,250.

One email from San Jose State athletics director Jeff Konya to Boise
State's AD Jeremiah Dicket reads, "Your institution's arbitrary decision
not to play an otherwise eligible NCAA team has resulted in harm to SJSU
financially and our institution's brand. We estimate we missed out on
approximately $1,250 in game day revenue by not playing the [match] on
Saturday when you add all of the various revenue sources (i.e.,
concessions, parking among others). I would ask to be made whole at the
very least."

Boise State confirmed to OutKick they did not pay SJSU, but did not
provide a reason. Utah State did not respond to them.

San Jose State player Brooke Slusser joined a lawsuit headed by OutKick
host and former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines against the NCAA due to
its policies on gender identity. Slusser joined this lawsuit because she
claims that she has had to share a court, a locker room and even a room
on overnight trips with her teammate Blaire Fleming without having ever
been told that Fleming was a biological male.

Security concerns and threats against San Jose State players have made
traveling for matches a high-risk endeavor for the lady Spartans. San
Jose State previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that police
protection had been assigned to the team, shortly after getting the
first news of an opponent forfeiting, when Southern Utah announced that
it would not play its match against the Spartans in September.

Former President Donald Trump has gone so far as to advocate for a ban,
in a recent town hall event on Fox News.

"We're not going to let it happen," Trump said of the issue. "We stop
it, we stop it, we absolutely stop it. We can't have it.

"You just ban it. The president bans it. You don't let it happen. It's
not a big deal."

It was SJSU that created the conditions for opponents to forfeit matches
due to safety concerns for their own players. Why should any opponent
pay them for that? In the end the issue is about fairness & safety, both
of which have been taken away by SJSU. Don't expect to recover damages
for a problem you created yourself.
