San Jose State volleyball head coach Todd Kress previously spoke out against the role politics and government played in hindering his team's ability to play games scheduled on its schedule.

“We're in a position where it seems like government and politics are somehow tied to college sports. And the one thing I love about college sports is that it's always been a refuge for me, It’s an area I’m not interested in. “I don’t think it should be involved. And it seems like some of these decisions are being made at levels where they're also turning away their student-athletes, which is then turning away our student-athletes,” Kress told reporters Oct. 3.
