A lawsuit was filed against the Mountain West Conference, the California State University system, San Jose State University's head women's volleyball coach, and two administrators surrounding the ongoing controversy that one of the Spartans' players was reported to be transgender.

Two Boise State volleyball players have joined a lawsuit against the Mountain West, Commissioner Gloria Nevarez, and four San Jose State officials. The lawsuit pertains to a transgender athlete on San Jose State’s volleyball team and alleges violations of Title IX and the players’ First and 14th Amendment rights.

The volleyball players in the suit claim the matches forfeited due to the presence of Fleming should not count as losses because the women were simply exercising their First Amendment rights and the newly-enacted TPP should not have passed in the first place.
