Interesting to me that the four religious colleges on SJSU's schedule (SCU, USF, St. Mary's, Cal Baptist) all participated in the matches, whereas the four forfeiting universities are non-California state schools (Wyoming, Utah St. Boise St., UNReno).

The forfeiting universities might also fall along certain intersections of rural/urban and conservative/secular divides in addition to the California/non-California divide.  It is their right to do so, though they could certainly be more gracious about it, if such a descriptor could be applied.
