In all seriousness though, thanks for putting it together!

Big East men's soccer is playing a "west" and "east" schedule this spring, with the west and east winners playing for the league championship. Have to figure volleyball is doing the same thing. 

They are working hard to avoid air travel and overnight hotel stays. So in the "west" to make that work, the geographic odd team out, Creighton, is going to do the traveling, spending 2 weeks near Butler and Xavier, and then 2 weeks near DePaul and Marquette.

Thank you vbnerd.

I am hoping to resurrect Pick-the-Winners and fingers still crossed, I have been following scheduling updates closely.

The Big 10 schedule is now available online. The WCC link does not show a schedule, but about half of the individual conference websites do, so you can Sherlock Holmes it.

Here is a response, in pertinent part and mildly edited, I sent today to a Fantasy League contestant in response to their inquiry:

"I have been in touch with the others and our present intention is to go ahead and run [PTW]. However, as of now I am not ready to make it public because if more matches are not timely scheduled, we may need to at least delay the start of the contest.

I went through the websites of the 39 teams getting votes in the AVCA pre-season poll and for the (opening) week ending Jan 24, there are only 10 matches (all 2x of same teams) with at least one of the 39 teams in them. The only conference with an online schedule starting Jan 22 weekend is the Big 10. No schedules at all posted for Pac 12, Big 12, ACC, Big East, AAC or Sun Belt. ~The latest date to post a week 1 contest is a week from today.

As you can appreciate, this looks to be very chaotic logistically. Some of us have other responsibilities so cannot drop everything else to devote all our time at the last minute. But we can all hope."

I urge anyone with a link to an online D-I conference or school website that updates the scheduling info posted abbove to both post it asap to volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/82827/who-playing-update-schedules and PM me to alert me.

Many thanks and forward looking, looking forward -p

I'm pretty sure Volleyball is doing the same.

The only exception is that I think it's the top two teams from each geographical pod with number 1 from one pod playing number 2 from the other pod and then those two winners facing each other to determine the league champion.

Not sure if this is a VT poster, but this Twitter account and the linked Google sheets are fantastic:

Any word on televised schedule for matches?

I started referencing dates of releases from the summer when conferences said they intended to play in the spring, but once I saw the Big 10 hadn't posted anything I just started saying that it isn't on the website. Clearly some of these conferences have moved forward with plans without the conference publicizing it.

[Confucius]

Heard rumblings that some of the smaller conferences may push back start dates.

Im gonna go out on a limb and say some more schools will opt out and eventually conferences/schools will just cancel the season because why spend the money to only play a couple games. They'll save the money from traveling in a time where athletics departments are looking for any way to save and with the opinion that athletes can do an extra year as this one is not counting towards their 4 years of eligibility.
