What conference will they align with? Due to location, my guess in the CVC. Having the inside information that I do. The Middle Atlantic Conference is looking to sponsor men's volleyball for the 16-17 season (it was recently tagged as an emerging sport by the conference). Especially if they have the 7 Core members to qualify for an immediate AQ. Arcadia and Stevenson make two with at least five more announcements expected to come soon. If that were to fall through for some reason I would expect them to approach both the CVC and Skyline about joining.

I'm pretty positive they would still have the wait the two years.

Surprising, since they have never put anything remotely close to a competitive volleyball program on the court. Athletics does not seem to be a big thing for the school. As an aside, until about 10 years ago, they were called Beaver College.

Everyone is overlooking the MCVL. They are having a good recruiting year. Watch out. Carthage is a force to rekon with. MSJ, Lakeland and Dominican have loaded up. And everyone else has had good recruiting and will be nipping at their heals. Maybe a year, maybe two, the MCVL will be the force in DIII.

Pretty sure that waiver was only good in 2012, the first year of the tournament. The neac and mvcl have fully sponsored the sport but are still waiting.

The neac and mvcl have fully sponsored the sport but are still waiting. Single sport conferences like the MCVL have different rules. The MAC is an allsports conference which is different in some ways, but I'm not sure what rules are different...and the NEAC is an all-sports conference and didn't get a bid so who knows.

That is what I was trying to say. Thanks for better wording it. correct me if I'm wrong but the 3 Buffalo schools are not official members of the NEAC, therefore, the NEAC is not an all conference sport.

Associate members disqualify the conference from bypassing the waiver period. If the MAC were to gain 7 "core members" (full time members of the conference) the two year wait would be waived by the NCAA.

Looking at who is in the MAC, Stevenson already plays and would leave the CVC, and Arcadia announced. Messiah has been a high level club team for a long time and it would be great to see them come in. Hood would probably want male students, so I could see them adding.
Wilkes, Widener,and Eastern are the larger schools in the conference so maybe they round out the group but beyond those first 4 I could see anyone doing it.

How can one person possibly handle all the recruiting needed for both programs? I mean, it's hard enough to recruit and coach men's volleyball at the same time let alone ad recruiting for a women's team. Best of luck.

Having been called in to advise at a school exploring the addition of Men's Volleyball. I shared my concerns, of the potential pitfall that lies ahead if you have same head coach for men and women. That being said, I know athletic departments are doing this so that they know these programs will kick off without a hitch and have some consistency for the beginning (2-3 years) before splitting the jobs up with two different coaches

Without the dual role schools would not be able to afford both sports. Same also goes for tennis, cross country, and track and field.
Remember, many of these schools have part-time women's coaches. They add the men's side and can make it a full time position. It's still beneficial to have a dual coach or a part time coach who has to have a full time job?
