12 San Jose State volleyball players are part of a lawsuit filed against the Mountain West and commissioner Gloria Nevarez .

The lawsuit alleges Title IX and First Amendment violations amid the controversy surrounding transgender Blaire Fleming’s roster status.

It claims the conference instituted its Transgender Participation Policy to “chill and suppress the free speech rights of women athletes,” according to the lawsuit posted by Outkick .

Slusser has been critical of how the university has handled the situation.

“Just having to go through this breaks me, because the team is full of such loving, caring women, and to put them all through this is absolutely absurd. My best friends are on this team,” she said.
