West Coast vs. Midwest and East coast

[skillzthatkillz]

Why does the west coast get so much more attention than the Midwest and east. Yes the teams are more competative on the west coast but how come they get all the attention?

[planetasia01]

Because the majority of the varsity schools in the east are no better than most collegiate club teams.

Oh SNAP!

More attention on the west coast because players here have all the free time due to not playing the first couple of years.

Go MIVA and EIVA if you want to play. MPSF if you want to talk while sitting.

There are several reasons for this. First of all, many of the posters here are from Hawaii, which means they talk about Hawaii and the teams Hawaii plays. Another reason is that historically, the west has always been stronger than the other schools. They have championships, history, top athletes that have caused a great deal of interest in volleyball. Compare that to the other schools and they haven't had the time to cultivate a lot of interest in the sport. Volleyball tends to be a more "west coast" sport. A sport like football is popular all over the country but is really big in South. Likewise, volleyball tends to be really big in the West.
