We have previously reported on the controversy over San José State University’s ‘transgender’ women’s volleyball player. Brayden Fleming, a male, has been passing himself off as female, apparently well enough that most of the women’s volleyball team didn’t know that she was a he. During recruiting, prospects were not told that there was a male on the team.
Five colleges chose to forfeit seven regular-season games rather than play SJSU, and then one of those five opted to forfeit the semi-final match against the school in the Mountain West Tournament as well. SJSU lost in the conference final, and was not invited to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team, which ended Mr Fleming’s career; he was a senior, and is out of eligibility.
One SJSU player, and an assistant coach, joined the lawsuit against the college, but it seems that perhaps more than one of the team members were unhappy:
SJSU responds to volleyball player mass exodus after trans athlete scandal rocked program
7 players have entered the transfer portal

San Jose State University has acknowledged a recent mass exodus of volleyball players who entered the transfer portal after a controversy-riddled season involving a trans athlete on the team.
The university provided a statement to Fox News Digital in which it expressed “respect” for the recent wave of players who have opted to transfer. “Student athletes have the ability to make decisions about their college athletic careers, and we have the utmost respect for that,” the statement read.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that seven of the team’s players have entered the transfer portal.
The team roster, as of 1:03 PM EST, showed nineteen players on the squad. The roster indicates that six players, including Mr Fleming, were seniors, leaving thirteen returning players for next year . . . and more than half of them have entered the transfer portal. Since Mr Fleming was a redshirt senior, he is completely out of eligibility, and would not be on the team next year.
We do not know if the transferring players were upset that a male was allowed to disguise himself and play on the team, that the school knew he was male and hid it from the players, or they were simply unhappy with the way the program was being handled, but it seems certain that Brayden Fleming’s presence has been catastrophic to team cohesion.
