If this were just merely a Sports Magazine, I could say "ok, they don't have any knowledgeable volleyballers on their staff." But volleyball is the ONLY sport in this magazine. Wow, they are really clueless. Are they headquartered in Brazil or Italy or Russia or somewhere? is their focus international only? Or high school? They certainly know nothing about college volleyball.

Well, on paper, Oklahoma returns a lot of the same players from last year, I think. And most of us think Florida was very good earlier this season. But I agree, a ridiculous ranking, I bet it was made in august and just published in oct, lol

It's sad that the only volleyball magazine out there has been so irrelevant for so many years.

It's sad that the only volleyball magazine out there has been so irrelevant for so many years. Volleyball Mag has been a joke for almost a decade. I'm not convinced its anyone's fault, but all print media is spiraling downward and I am guessing the ability to fund quality volleyball journalism just isn't there. It explains their lack of coverage, the supoosed West Coast bias, and this comical preseason listing... in October. I am hopeful that as the sport rises in popularity, some level of media is able to rise with it, I just don't know what that is yet. |

It's an advertising vehicle. Owned by a company called Madavor Media.
Their other publications are "Figure Skating"; "Bird Watching"; "Jazz Times" and "The Writer." They also have what they call a "wellness division" of publications which includes "Arthritis Self-Management"; "Diabetes Self-Management"; "Gluten Free Living" and "Practical Diabetology" which is targeted at health-care professionals.
Seems like a company that focuses on niche categories and then probably sells targeted advertisements.
There is this info on the "about us" page of the Volleyball Magazine website:

Also Louisville is a weird pick Not since they hired Alyssa D'Errico. Is your last name D'Errico?? That is the only way you can possibly justify Louisville as the 7th team in the country! |

We should revisit all pre-season rankings once the season is over, wouldn't that be fun?
