Either the NCAA apparel people just doesn't give a $#!+ or someone fudged up. Anyone else want to buy one? Maybe we as a VB fandom can speak (er...buy it) into existence? Buy your own here!

Vandy doesn't have a softball team either, which I get. It would be expensive to build a softball field in Nashville. But how hard is it to throw up a net on the basketball court?
There's a lot of talent in the Nashville area. Great school. I could easily see them in the top half of the SEC very quickly.

If you have never seen it, it falls off a ledge almost like a moat. Libero's would have a short life expectancy tracking down errant passes .....lol. ( I am sure they could come up with a solution.)

Yes, I have. And I did think about the prospect of players diving off the court and into the stands to keep a ball alive. lol

Would be cool.

And agreed, Vandy would become good / tourney caliber really quick provided they had a good coach.
Great academics and Nashville is a draw.

Buy your own here!<button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> FYI they also have sweatshirts for Vandy Rugby, Crew, and Ultimate. None of those are sponsored sports. Presuming these are all for IM/club teams.

There have been murmurs at Vandy of volleyball being the next sport since at least 2010. They were always interested in softball because of the SEC's dominance in softball, so maybe now that the SEC is on the rise (#rocket) there will be a stronger push for volleyball!

They were always interested in softball because of the SEC's dominance in softball, so maybe now that the SEC is on the rise (#rocket) there will be a stronger push for volleyball! Looking at their list of sports, it appears likely they sponsor just enough sports to meet any conference or D1 minimum requirement. They show to sponsor 6 men's sports and 9 women's. In men's, they have cross country but not track and field. In women's, they have lacrosse and bowling, but no volleyball or softball. Appears their administration must be satisfied with the current number of sports and I would guess it won't change until the SEC puts pressure on them to add sports. Like the Big 12 with Okie State not playing volleyball, a school not playing a major sport tends to screw up scheduling for the other schools.

They probably already have a solution -- Memorial hosts plenty of events where that set up would be an issue. Plus, the sidelines are huge. Vandy basketball is in a slump right now, but back when they were good, Memorial was one of the hardest places to play (I guess it still is, the students/fans just don't care as much right now) in the SEC. I think it would be super cool to see in a volleyball setting -- students with the court chest-level, benches on the end lines. In basketball, they let the coaches run up and down the sidelines -- I imagine they'd do that in volleyball too, but it would be kind of cool if they didn't. Coach could just whisper serving instructions in the server's ear. Given game tape is shot from the end line, perhaps coaches might even prefer it.

I assume they have both indoor and outdoor track for women that gets grouped together on the website but are technically different sports.
