Not to sound like a resident homer for the State of Indiana, but I could make it case for it being a much better gig than Maryland for volleyball. IU is about to (in a week or so) open a brand new volleyball/wrestling facility, they likely threw decent $$ at Steve Aird ($231,000 vs $172,000 at Maryland), that's top 20 money overall, and probably 6th highest in the B1G, who is viewed as a rising star coaching/recruiting status. B1G pays more for than any other league for vball HCs. He signed a nice class for Maryland last year. He's got a good coaching pedigree (assistant under Russ Rose), played at Penn St. The State produces great volleyball talent, one of the best club scenes around (Munciana).
