LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez says she is heartbroken over turmoil surrounding San Jose State volleyball this season. Four teams have canceled games against San Jose State: Boise State, Southern Utah, Utah State and Wyoming. None of the schools explicitly said why. Most Nevada players said they wouldn’t take the floor when the Wolf Pack are scheduled to host the Spartans on Oct. 26 even though the athletic department said it wants to play the match. The school says state law bars forfeiture “for reasons related to gender identity or expression.”
