@Susan_Larson_TN@mastodon.online#MountainWest #volleyball #forfeit #crisis heads toward uncertain #postseason for #SanJoseState
As #SJSU nears the #tournament, a new #report says #political #pressure caused #Wyoming's #forfeit, despite a split #player vote.
“We have #played against this #athlete for two #seasons, and our #studentathletes felt #safe,” #Wyoming #AthleticDirector #TomBurman wrote via #email. “Our #studentathletes do not support #forfeiting two #matches.”
#Sport #leagues needs to nip this in the bud, and #ban #teams that #forfeit games due to who they are #scheduled to #play, from #competing for the rest of the #season.
