  • Great Anaysis

    So much great information on volleyball. I totally agree with what they said about the lack of respect for men’s college volleyball. I watched the D1 finals on TV but missed the semis. Last weekend had men’s finals, women’s beach finals and AVP Austin. An abundance of volleyball for the fan, but I’d love to see it spread out more.
