"The argument of athletic administrators that decisions to cut [men's] programs were based on the need to comply with Title IX was not supported by the data and contradicted the prevailing view that men’s sports were cut to fund women’s sports to comply with Title IX."

This is probably the single-most significant event in DI women's volleyball since the launch of conference networks in the 2010s. I'll be super interested in seeing a potential ratings spike in the third-plus sets as 1pm NFL games conclude.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The NCAA announced that the final of the 2023 Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship has been moved from Saturday night to Sunday, Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. (Eastern) because the match will be shown on ABC. AVCA Release: https://t.co/EpWlrxLNG4

There's only one Kathy; there's no replacing her. I have no doubt Jaime will continue building on the foundation Kathy and the previous EDs built over the last 40-plus years!
Dr. Jaime Gordon will be AVCA’s new executive director after 20 years at Morehead State as a coach & AD. “I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead an association that has profoundly influenced me and thousands of coaches for the past four decades.” https://t.co/aT8LcaqOqO

From 2004 to 2018, literally every @AVCAVolleyball POY award went to a Big Ten or Pac-12 program. Since then, they garnered just one of the last four: 2022: @loganeggleston_ -- Big 12 2021: @mplilley03 (spring) -- SEC @dana_rettke (fall) -- Big Ten 2019: @yossiana22 -- Big 12

Never in doubt.
There’s no one more deserving than Coach Petrie. After leading San Diego volleyball to its most successful season ever, she’s your AVCA National Coach of the YEAR! 🗞: https://t.co/Uvwb352lZf

There’s no better way to watch whip around first round action.
If you’re not already tuned into The 5th Set, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!? The show features @sambgore, @paulbsundy and @JenMarieHoffman on @ESPNPlus all weekend! Tomorrow (Friday) starts at 4pmET and Saturday starts at 6pmET. As @KellyBurkeSprts put it, think NFL Redzone, but 🏐!!!
