2025 Volleyball Thread

[MarqHusker]

I was summoned for this...
2025 Volleyball Thread....Go!

real matches start up this week.  I'll freely admit,  despite being a long time coach of youth VB and fan of college and olympic game of volleyball.    NIL/outrageous roster turnover through Portal and things like,...oh I don't know signing and enrolling a girl that's been playing professionally in Italy (Nebraska brought in a 6-5 OH from an Italian pro league), just really makes one give less of a shit.   Yes, Women's volleyball is having awesome growth and interest, but it's become very very hard to keep your kids from leaving for the small number of schools with $$$.   I say this as an alum of the one school that turns a profit on volleyball.  Here's your preseason AVCA Top25.
one good thing as we often talk about,  all these teams more less will play each other before we get to the end of September.    Always good OOC matches in this game.
