Ok...This is what we have needed in the B1G for mens VB to make a REAL push
Iowa announced Thursday that it will add women's wrestling, becoming the first Power Five conference school to add the emerging sport.
Let's GO! Wake up First Point

After the lawsuit by the women's swim/dive team that got COVID-cut in 2020 (they've since been reinstated) there was something in there about how Iowa actually wasn't Title XI compliant, and needed to add another women's sport to truly be compliant. This puts a full kibosh on that, and potentially reinstates some of the men's sports that got cut which I think was gymnastics, swim/dive, and maybe tennis? It's great sensical publicity for the university, but really doesn't open the door for new opportunities. At least none that are being demanded for at this time (First Point where you at...)

Its sad, people just don't know... These schools pack their huge arenas to see B1G women's games, which if the local community school fans were to experience the speed and excitment live of a top men's match, they would realize they've been watching WNBA layups compared to NBA dunks...

So that means the possibility of adding Lacrosse is still pretty high pending what they feel is more of a revenue booster. bigten.org/standings.aspx?path=mlax

Nothing against Women's Wrestling, but in terms of emerging sports, we should push the B1G to add Beach Volleyball. It's a sport they would likely all:
- Be almost instantly competitive in. - Not a huge cost if enough of them commit to it at the same time. (You need a sand court and that's it) - Could augment their indoor volleyball teams in terms of landing recruits who want to play both.

I wonder if there are any former Briar Cliff players that could come over and get things started if there was a legitimate push for a menβs Team

it'd be so dope to see some B1G schools add men's volleyball, hell PAC-12 even cause of how popular volleyball is on the west coast.

some schools I'd love to see add men's volleyball
PAC-12 Oregon Arizona State/Arizona
B1G UMich and Michigan State Iowa Nebraska
those are just some schools off the top of my head that would be so cool to have a men's volleyball program at those respective schools
however the realistic possibility of that happening is slim to none. I do think that Nebraska would be amazing to have a Men's Program for. They already have a top notch women's program, and I think that, as rollosideout said, the fans will realize that they've been watching WNBA layups instead of NBA Dunks if they're able to watch a top men's game.

Agreed, no disrespect to the womenβs programs but seeing guys hit and play defense is different
