Brooke Slusser, a junior setter, expressed concern that allowing a transgender woman to compete in women's sports violates Title IX rights and creates a physical risk.
The lawsuit alleges that the Mountain West Conference and San Jose State University administrators spread inaccurate information and manipulated rules, diminishing women's sports opportunities.
The plaintiffs claimed their free speech rights were violated when they opposed the participation of a transgender athlete, stating it negatively impacts women's rights.
Suspended associate head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose, who is part of the lawsuit, indicated that concerns about the transgender athlete's competitive edge have troubled the team.
