I can see UH coming to the mainland,...using one of the Big West Conference schools as their home court and playing all their matches on the mainland. Busing to play all their away matches. (mostly in California)
They would also practice and study at this same school. Taking all their classes during the season online.
If,...UH wanted to charter flights from Manoa a possibility, too. But, would their opponents want to fly in?

As of today, Hawai'i is one of the safest states around, maybe one of the safest in the world re COVID-19. The problem is will the Governor have a plan in place by this fall to open it back up without quarantining all visitors in their hotel rooms for two weeks. Governor Ige moves mighty sllooowwww...

No. The problem is travel/budget for other schools going to Hawaii. The travel restrictions are being agreed by schools to limit costs.

It's been my understanding that the other BW schools get their travel cost to Hawai'i paid for by Hawai'i. That agreement being a requirement by the other BW schools to permit Hawai'i to return to the BW from the WAC. I'd guess it wouldn't apply to Bakersfield and UCSD, but if they can't afford that cost, the BW should be reconsidering there joining the conference.

D1 volleyball conferences are discussing travel restrictions which limit non-conference travel. There are multiple proposals on the table. Hawaii would certainly not be able to meet these restrictions while playing at home. So they'll either need their own guidelines or to relocate.

Hawaii isn’t relocating this season. Any talk about Hawaii playing all of its matches on the mainland is dumb and laughable. Do you people realize how much revenue UH would lose under this scenario?

Hawaii isn’t relocating this season. Oh Jesus... PRE-CONFERENCE people. Hawaii couldn't fulfill the 400 mile radius thing, obviously. So there will likely be a different rule for Hawaii DURING PRE-CONFERENCE. But cross country travel DURING PRE-CONFERENCE is being discouraged (and a formal agreement to restrict it is likely).

I think we’re in good shape to have some sense of normalcy by next month. The state has done a good job of keeping us safe. That said, being that we’re all in this together, it’ll depend on how safe other states are. Our numbers are low and getting lower but if someone is traveling from states with a high number of cases, I could see quarantine measures put in place for those visitors.

Sure its a huge loss in $$$. Now let's see how many show up to watch (or permitted) in these arenas or go online. That's really the point.

Not sure why you think that is a viable option, it’s not.

The good news is our conference schedule will consist of 20 league games so UH only have to find 8 non league matches to play. We could play two sponsored tournaments, which will help financially. Hawaiian Airline usually sponsor one event and Outrigger Hotels can sponsor another.
As for the 400 miles radius thing, UH is in an unique situation so I’m sure the NCAA will make an exception. UH could do something like this. One tournament UH could see if they can get 3 California schools to come over so they can all fly in on one plane with families and without any other passengers. That way there is no fear of being infected by others. Of course, the teams need to be tested and cleared before boarding.
Santa Clara, San Jose State and Stanford can all board the plane at the same airport. Same with LMU, USC, `UCLA. Same with Cal, USF, St. Mary.
If these big name schools refuse to come, UH can still hold tournaments with lesser known teams. I’m sure some of those smaller schools would welcome the opportunity to play here.
I can see schools like Idaho, New Mexico State, Eastern Washington jumping at an opportunity to play here......since it would cost them next to nothing to come.

The fact that the Wahine are likely to be the best team in the conference next year makes it important that the BW collectively find a solution to the travel issue which enables UH to put together a strong pre conference schedule and I'm confident they'll work it out.
