  • San Jose State University said it was "disappointed" after Boise State dropped out of the end-of-season women's volleyball championship rather than play the Spartans, whose team features a biological male.

The article from The Washington Times discusses San Jose State's disappointment with Boise State's refusal to play a scheduled football game on December 2, 2024. San Jose State had agreed to a two-for-one series with Boise State, which included a game in Boise in 2024. However, Boise State backed out, citing the need to prioritize their conference schedule and the potential for a bowl game. This decision has left San Jose State in a bind, as they had already made arrangements based on the expected revenue from the game. The article highlights the frustration of San Jose State's athletic director, Jeff Konya, who criticized Boise State for not honoring the agreement, which was seen as a significant opportunity for San Jose State to gain exposure and revenue. The situation underscores the complexities and sometimes contentious nature of scheduling in college football.
