SJSU volleyball team could be named conference champions if opponent forfeits in tournament

The Mountain West Conference may declare San Jose State University (SJSU) women's volleyball team as champions if an opposing team forfeits during the upcoming tournament. This follows ongoing controversy surrounding a transgender player on the team. SJSU, seeded No. 4, finished the regular season with a 14-5 record, benefiting from several forfeits by opponents. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday to determine if SJSU or its player will be disqualified from the tournament. The conference's plan to name SJSU champions hinges on the outcome of this hearing. If the team reaches the final and an opponent forfeits, SJSU would automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament.
