The Big West has been made aware of the comments made during the CSUN/UC Irvine men's volleyball broadcast last Thursday. We categorically condemn these specific comments as well as anything in this vein made to denigrate any individuals.

We stand with CSUN men's volleyball student-athlete Jordan Lucas and all student-athletes in their rights to compete, celebrate and express themselves in a way that is authentic to them providing they are not engaging in unsporting behavior.
