Four universities have forfeited matches against the Spartans following controversy over the gender identity of one of the team’s players.
Answering a question about transgender athletes, Trump referenced a play last week showing a San Jose State women’s volleyball player spiking a ball that hit a San Diego State player in the arms, briefly knocking her down.
