A federal judge ruled Monday that a volleyball player for the San Jose State University women's team, who is at the center of controversy about transgender athletes, can compete in this week's conference tournament.

The Mountain West Conference has concluded there was insufficient evidence to determine misconduct between women’s volleyball players from the Colorado State and San Jose State programs ahead of a match last month after a coach filed a Title IX complaint alleging the student-athletes were attempting to manipulate the contest. San Jose State associate head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose brought her allegations to the conference on Oct. 29, according to conference Deputy Commissioner Bret Gilliland. San Jose State says Batie-Smoose is currently away from the team.
