Boise State, who twice boycotted regular-season matches with San Jose State, pulled out of the Mountain West women’s volleyball tournament Wednesday night even after securing a spot in the semi-finals against the Spartans.

The important bits:

Idaho governor Brad Little signed an executive order on 28 August called the Defending Women’s Sports Act that challenges how Title IX rules are interpreted in that state.

“Biological males – men and boys – have physical differences that give them an unfair advantage when competing with women and girls in athletics,” Little said at the time.

A lawsuit was recently filed in Colorado by players from various schools against the conference and San Jose State officials calling for a Spartans player not to be allowed participation in the tournament, citing unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her.

US magistrate judge S Kato Crews in Denver ruled Monday that the player is allowed to play, and a federal appeals court upheld the decision the following day.

Headline should just be "Boise State values discrimination more than the hard work of their athletes".
