The NCAA DI Council will meet on 9/16 at 1PM ET to make recommendations regarding spring competition for fall sports, including WVB. Given that these recommendations are typically adopted by the Board, this is the next important meeting in the process of spring college volleyball.
The rumor I'm hearing, and I'll stress it is only a rumor, is that they will propose a WVB season that runs from February to April and culminates in a truncated tournament.

The football oversight committee is recommending a 13 week, 8 game season that must end by April 17. 8 games is 2/3 of their normal limit and 2/3 of a volleyball season is about 18 dates.
Also "there was not support to allow midyear enrollees, transfers or incoming freshman to compete in the spring semester." Obviously that would be a bigger issue in football than in volleyball, but I'm not aware of any reason why the schools represented on this committee would be dramatically different than the schools planning to play spring volleyball.

That second part chimes with what I'm hearing... Although someone will have to break it to John Cook. Regarding other sports, there is apparently support for a soccer season beginning in March and ending in May.

Sorry, I should have been more clear - spring enrollees. I expect there will be flexibility initially regarding total number of dates.

The Pac-12 will soon be able to provide its student-athletes with daily coronavirus testing after entering into a deal with Quidel Corporation, a manufacturer of FDA-approved rapid tests for a number of medical conditions. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott called the development a "game-changer" and said the availability of rapid testing will allow the conference to consider resuming competitive activities before Jan. 1, 2021. Scott didn't provide a firm timeline for how it will impact the conference's return to play because of other to-be-determined variables. www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/29804035/pac-12-partnership-allow-daily-covid-19-testing-athletesIf football happens before Jan 2021...............why not volleyball?

“No Spring Enrollee participation” means transfers and incoming freshman. I presume.

The improved testing is good news for safety within those communities but I wouldn't anticipate an accelerated timetable for competition in Pac-12 WVB. There's no advantage to starting play ahead of schedule of the rest of the country. This will have the biggest impact on the schools which initially had the most cautious and restrictive plans through the fall (I'm looking at you, Stanford).

Everything about fall postponed seasons should be played, as much as possible, as if it was happening this fall.

They weren't eligible for the fall season when it was postponed, so they're not eligible for the fall season now that it's in spring. That would have been very close to my answer also. Some schools may have a problem numbers wise with spring enrollees. For fall sports, you still can't exceed your scholarship limit in the spring. Fall sports usually have ships available for early enrollees for various reasons with the most common being seniors that graduate in the fall after playing their last season, transfers after the fall semester, and in football early entries for the NFL draft. So for many, I could see a lot (much more in football than volleyball) of those spring ships now not being available and maybe not having a spring ship for an early enrollee.

Normally the freshman that come early for the spring get to play in spring competitions without using a year of eligibility. Not letting them play in the spring will rob them of those early competitions that they would normally get. I say let them participate in four matches in the spring.
