The NCAA wisely changed the name of sand volleyball to beach volleyball now that it will sponsor the sport. There will barely be more than 50 schools competing next year so hopefully there will be a numbers increase to add more luster to actually winning the title.
Luster?……Son-of-a-BEACH. Scott…….March Madness has 64+ teams in the tourney…. what more do you want?….. it’s quality, not quantity, that matters most….
No doubt about it, 5 socal Pac -12 wins in two years signifies socal’s basketball program’s lack of quality.
Women’s indoor Volleyball is HUGE… National participation wide spread, with second and third divisions fielding teams…Sand courts are found everywhere .Club volleyball second to none. The sport (sand) beach VB will within 3-5 years triple… Schools that have indoor scholarships (many) will start program. Player converting takes time to really compete .
What???
Peter, you were drinking SEVEN hours ago?
Mr.metaphor, as for drinking, yes a lot of water was hot in the mountains I live.. As for Volleyball spent many years coaching, advicing , directing,playing and enjoying the great sport. And along the way called some of the greatest women to play and coach the game , friends.and one fine player, my daughter. Helped to see over 80 qirls get 4 year educations..
Mr Wolf:
Word on the street is Michael Pittman is going to announce for USC this Saturday. How does a guy who originally committed to Bruins not even have them in consideration anymore. What a huge loss for Mr Mora. I’m going to have to give him a hug.

Gosh Woody, “the word on the street” is Mr. Pittman didn’t figure to get much playing time at UCLA. It makes sense Mr Pittman would select a college with mediocre to poor WR talent to resolve his lack of playing time issues.
BTW, has Sark unloaded the palace yet?
Mr Own:
Your knowledge of the game seems limited if you think Mr Pittman is going to play WR in college. Your like the girl left at the altar bitter and confused. Nellie somebody needs a face cup!
JW
What an outstanding non-sequitur. Nellie, Woody needs remedial elementary school ESL reading skills.
You’re right Nellie, it’s never too late to learn to read & write enquish.
Come on Woody, has Sark unloaded his palace?
What is wise about calling the new sport ” Beach Volleyball”. Does USC play in the sand across from Galen Ctr. or at the beach in Santa Monica? Beach is for the pros not colleges who are in the inner city in some locations.
