Former Wyoming volleyball star reveals how SJSU trans scandal ruined friendships within her own team

Former University of Wyoming volleyball star Macey Boggs opened up about how a decision to forfeit to SJSU in the heat of the school's transgender scandal in 2024 ultimately permanently ruined friendships among teammates.

As San Jose State University approaches a critical deadline in its Title IX conflict against President Donald Trump's administration, another woman who was affected by the school's 2024 volleyball scandal has come forward. 

Former University of Wyoming volleyball star Macey Boggs said her team had been "torn apart" over a decision of whether to forfeit two matches to SJSU in 2024. The Spartans were embroiled in a national controversy at that time due to the presence of a biological male transgender athlete on the roster. 

Boggs said in a recent interview the players had found out about the trans player, whom they had competed against two years earlier, in the spring of 2024. When the fall rolled around, the locker room became a hive of tension and nerves due to the two scheduled matches between Wyoming and SJSU, and disagreements about whether to forfeit or not.

"You could tell that things got a little bit hostile," Boggs told Fox News Digital.

"In between the whispering between each other's back, and then we were no longer one team, one unit, it was like these two separate islands." 

Friendships were permanently ruined for Boggs and the rest of the Cowgirls, she said. 

"Yeah," Boggs said when asked if the situation "permanently ruined friendships." 

"There were some of the girls who I really enjoyed, and we got along great, and then this situation came up, some conflict came up, and ultimately we went in separate directions because of that … as soon as we played in our last game, we all went in separate directions… it was hard to maintain those relationships." 

How did it get to that point? 

The first Mountain West team to forfeit to SJSU that year was Utah State, becoming the first of five conference teams to do so. 

Former Utah State star Kaylie Ray previously told Fox News Digital that the decision was left up to a player poll, and the majority of players voted to forfeit. 

Wyoming also left the decision up to a player vote, per Boggs. But that vote had troubling outcome for her. 

"It was said that it was up to the players. So we took an anonymous vote, it ended up we were going to play because most of the girls on my team wanted to play," Boggs said. But she and others weren't going to play anyway, regardless of the vote.
