San Jose State women's volleyball star Brooke Slusser warned the NCAA after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the organization for transgender inclusion in sports feminine.

Paxton filed a lawsuit Sunday, accusing the organization of deceptive business practices to allow transgender women to compete against biological women. Paxton said in a news release that the NCAA violated the Texas Trade Practices Act “which exists to protect consumers from businesses that attempt to mislead or trick them into purchasing goods or services that do not correspond to those announced”.

Slusser, who was part of a lawsuit against his own school and the NCAA for allowing a transgender woman on the Spartans' roster this season, posted about Paxton's lawsuit.

“Hey NCAA, just in case you haven't realized it yet, this fight will continue to get harder for you until you make a change!” Slusser wrote about X.

Slusser and other plaintiffs had asked a judge to grant an injunction barring Blaire Fleming from participating in the Mountain West Conference women's volleyball tournament last month, but their request was denied.

San Jose State advanced to the tournament finals but lost to Colorado State.

Paxton accused the NCAA of “engaging in false, misleading and deceptive practices by marketing sporting events as 'women's' competitions and then offering consumers co-ed competitions where biological males compete against biological females.”

“The NCAA intentionally and knowingly endangers the safety and well-being of women by deceptively transforming women's competitions into co-ed competitions,” Paxton said in a statement. “When people watch a women's volleyball match, for example, they expect to see women playing against other women – not biological men pretending to be something they are not. The 'radical theory like that' has no place in college sports.”

Paxton said he was seeking to have a court grant a permanent injunction to prohibit the NCAA from allowing transgender athletes in women's sports in Texas or involving Texas teams, or else requiring the NCAA that it stop marketing events as “female” when in fact they are mixed gender competitions,” the press release states.

“College sports are the premier stage of women's sports in America, and while the NCAA does not comment on pending litigation, the association and its members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women's sport and to ensure fair competition in all NCAA championships,” the organization said.
