SJSU Brooke Sjser flees from the Campus after alleged threats on the volleyball scandal

EXCLUSIVE: For former Volleyball Co-Capitan of the State University of San José Brooke Slusser It is finishing its last semester of the University virtually in its native state of Texas after alleged harassment on the campus, online threats and mental health problems that arose from the scandal that shook the volleyball program of the school last fall.

Slusser, who is currently demanding school On her alleged experience with former Transgender teammate Blaire Fleming, she told Fox News Digital that she and her family made the decision because she no longer felt sure on the campus of the Bay area.

“I would simply be walking, and I would make people tell me things, as if a girl were screaming ‘You!’ For me, “said Slusser. “I was in the elevator once in my apartment and some girls, while they left, they were like ‘Oh, that’s the girl, you should have slapped her when you had the opportunity,” so that kind of thing happened.

“I literally felt sure. Every time I left the house, I felt that people were like looking at me, I felt that I had to look at my back every time I was on the campus.”

The last year student at the University first joined the demand of Riley Gaines against the NCAA in September, claiming that the coaches and administrators of Volleyball of SJSU retained information on the birth sex of Fleming during their first season together in 2023, everything while it was done to share spaces to change and sleep with the trans athlete.

In November, Slusser filed its own demand against SJSU and Mountain West along with 11 other conference players and one of its former coaches, claiming that Fleming conspired with an opposite player to accelerate her on the face during a game. That lawsuit also claimed that chief coach Todd Kress tried to have Slusser withdraw from the team.

Despite this, Slusser continued playing for Kress and next to Fleming, all while they regularly advocated to advocate the inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sports. His defense attracted the attention of national media.

However, with that attention later the fear for his safety came. Slusser alleges that he received multiple threats before his decision to leave the campus this semester.

“I also had some threats, so you never know what people will do,” said Slusser. “People threatened to face my campus, and just that kind of thing.”

However, Slusser added that he did not report most of these incidents to university administrators.

“I did not do it because everything that was happening, almost became a norm, so I really cannot do anything about what people tell me, and as long as they are not putting me in my hands, they can say what they want,” he said.

The State of San José is currently under investigation by the United States Department of Education for possible violations of Title IX that occurred during the management of the Fleming program, and the president of the Cynthia Lieutenant-Mson University He told Fox News Digital that the University will cooperate in the process.

In the 2024 electoral cycle, 98.71% of employee donations at San José State University went to Democratic candidates in federal elections, while only 0.91% went to Republicans, according to data from data from Open secrets.

A spokesman for the state of San José provided a statement to Fox News Digital directing the situation of Slusser, insisting that the University would have taken measures if the matter had been reported. She simply chose to return home.

“The state of San José takes these issues seriously and would follow the complaints or problems that are informed or that we have information,” reads the statement. However, for Slusser, even if the university had taken measures to address threats, the mental cost of experience with Fleming and its coaches weighed too much on it to remain in California.

“It was probably the most traumatic thing I’ve spent in my life,” said Slusser. “I was so exhausted, and I feel that for so long that I was running with the adrenaline of trying to overcome it and honestly I would say that I was a little numb for everything for a while, and I really lost myself. I would like to consider a quite happy person, and it wasn’t that person for a while.”

Slusser is not the only one in last year’s team that has distanced himself from the university after the scandal. Almost all the players of the 2024 team who had the remaining eligibility of the NCAA entered the transfer portal shortly after the season ended in December.

The former chief assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose, who was the only coach in the personnel who spoke against the management of Fleming by the University and filed a complaint of title IX against the school, did not make SJSU renewed her contract after she expired in January.

Batie-Smoose then suffered a vandalism incident when his house was shot by a pistol of pellet earlier this month. Police have not determined a suspect or motivation, but batie-smoose He told Fox News Digital She believes she was attacked by her recent defense against trans inclusion.

However, for Slusser, the positive side of the experience lies in the national impact it has had on the conversation surrounding trans inclusion in women’s sports and the recent legislative changes that have been made to address it.

“I went through having to do this, but there is still no second in which I have guessed it or I wish I had never done this. It was difficult, but I knew it would be … and there is still much to change, but there are definitely large baby steps in the right direction,” said Slusser.

President Donald Trump approved the “Men In Women’s Sports Law” on February 5, and a day later, the NCAA modified its gender eligibility policy in response to the order.

Even so, many states in the United States, including California, have refused to comply with Trump’s executive order so far and continue to allow Trans athletes to compete in women and girls sports.

“Receipo DMS of younger athletes weekly basically saying ‘I am going through this, I have seen everything that happened to you, how did you handle it?’ And it saddens me so much that even the ladies in athletics have to go through this, “said Slusser.

“Honestly, it angry me so much because I really do not understand how someone cannot understand it so strong … it stuns me that they are still trying to fight for that when everyone knows that it is wrong.”

The Law on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports will obtain a vote in the United States Senate within next week after approving the House of Representatives, since Republican legislators aim to establish a stricter national precedent to review trans inclusion in girls and women’s sports throughout the country.

However, the bill will need the support of several Democratic senators to overcome the filibuster and reach the Trump desktop.
