I don't know how else to tell you this: there will be no fall NCAA championship. Once the WCC joins the Big East in pulling out, the non-competing teams will cross the 50% limit, and the fall championship will be cancelled. Big South already said no sports until after fall, so we are over 50% even before the WCC announces. I think there are a bunch of smaller conferences that didn't want to be the one to push over 50%. I expect a lot more to announce now. Now I am wondering how many more than 39 are willing to stay in the fall? Is it going to be 291 to 39? Alot of teams won't play in the spring either. Many small schools will be heavily impacted financially by not having football in the fall and as we all know volleyball just doesn't generate lots of money so many will just cut their loses and get ready for fall 2021

Just curious. Has anyone with inside information regarding Texas heard anything about an orange and white scrimmage since we are playing this fall? I imagine everyone had something more important to worry about than the orange and white scrimmage.

Then we'll worry about an intersquad scrimmage.

Okay so no fall championship as we all knew and uncertain if there will be a spring season. Since the Big 12 decided to play can Texas decide to opt out or would they have to play since the Big 12 decided to play?
Honestly I would expect us and Baylor to opt out and hope for spring season. Or play no more than 14 games in the fall so Nobody loses eligibility and if there is a spring season then we play the rest of our games. No point in wasting eligibility on anyone if your only playing for a conference title🤦🏾♂️

I could almost guarantee that the Texas AD and president were on the side of playing this fall, otherwise it wouldn't be happening. No way they then allow one of their teams to opt out of the season.

No way Jerrit Elliot or CDC let's the likes of Logan, Brionne, and fields and honestly the whole team waste a year of eligibility on a conference only season which they win every year anyways. Now if they get confirmation that there will be a spring season then fall is an option because we can play both but if no spring then Texas will most likely not play as well as Baylor because they are not letting Presley go out with a conference only schedule. If the eligibility rule passes then we can do the less than 14 games and wait until we find out if there is a spring season and championship but no way we just give up a year of eligibility for a big 12 title only.

I can assure you that CDC (AD) and president were wanting to play this fall. It's also obvious that the Board of Regents were in favor of this also. The president is an interim president, but yesterday morning the Board announced that he was the only "final" candidate. However I could see them letting the volleyball team play a spring schedule if the NCAA championship is in the spring and the team/coaches want to play in the spring in order to pursue a national championship. Even in that event, I suspect they wouldn't do it unless the whole conference moved to the spring in volleyball.

If there is a spring season with a championship then I am sure they would allow Texas to participate. There may be some restrictions because we are playing in the fall but if Texas and the big 12 choose to do so then I am sure it would be possible for us to join.

Does Texas VB have to do the same thing that Texas football does?
Can Texas vb play in spring and the football team play in fall?

Does Texas VB have to do the same thing that Texas football does? Can Texas vb play in spring and the football team play in fall? If you are asking if this is a requirement, I would guess no. At the moment, the Big 12 is planning on playing football, women's volleyball, and women's soccer in the fall so Texas is planning on playing those sports in the fall. If the NCAA championships in volleyball and soccer are moved to the spring and only teams playing in the spring can participate in them, I could certainly see the Big 12 discussing moving those sports to the spring so that teams have a championship opportunity. Football would not move because there is no NCAA championship.

I think they are waiting to see if a vaccine will be ready and effective enough to get a spring season. Not everyone will take that vaccine so I guess to they want to get it to the point where numbers are way down. If Texas were told today there was going to be a spring season & ncaa championship then they would more than likely just decide to play in the fall but if they have to wait until December or January then it would be to late because they would have played all their conference matches by then.

So, while we're waiting for anything definite, let's discuss some hypotheticals and what-if's.
What if both Parra and Malual had arrived for the Fall? Add them to Eggleston, Fields, and Davis as healthy pin-hitters, and Madison Williams as another pin if she were to be completely recovered from her ACL injury. What lineup would we see? Could Jerritt have been thinking about running a 6-2 offense again?

Could Jerritt have been thinking about running a 6-2 offense again? Which pair of setters were you thinking of for the 6-2? Does anyone have opinions on Parra’s passing in comparison to Peterson’s or Iosia’s? My sense is that O’Brien has the L jersey on lock. So for the first time since I have been watching Texas play, there is a legit logjam of talent in the back row. Outstanding.
