UNR players considering "forfeit" volleyball game over suspected transgender woman on SJSU team.

The University made the decision not to declare a forfeiture and move forward with hosting the match as scheduled based on several factors. As a public university, the University is legally prohibited by Section 24 of the Nevada Constitution and other laws and regulations to declare a forfeit for reasons related to gender identity or expression."
...
[Lawyer for players:] "These athletes have expressed legitimate concerns about the fairness and physical risks of competing against a transgender player from San Jose State University. Beyond this specific situation, we believe that the policies of the NCAA, the Mountain West Conference, and San Jose State University may violate Title IX by allowing conditions that place female athletes at a disadvantage and jeopardize their safety. We are currently assessing potential legal action against these organizations, and we may pursue injunctive relief to ensure these athletes' rights are protected in future competitions, including the Mountain West Conference Championship.”

Please address issues brought forth in potential suit, not the politics of the situation.
