I don’t know about a line in the sand. There is a ton of discussion about liberalizing the rules even more. Of course, it’s not volleyball that’s the catalyst. It’s football and men’s basketball, and pressure to let kids revert back to a college career even while going further down the path of exploring a pro career. If there’s anything I can say about the NCAA and its ability to hand down punishments, it’s to not be transparent, hold things close to the vest, make the NCAA prove any and all allegations they make, and then if they’re serious enough, dispute them in every way possible by every means possible, including appeals and legal action. It’s my guess Wisconsin tried to be forthcoming about what transpired. The NCAA saw a violation of their rules they could actually document and penalize, and so they did. I’m sure for them this feels like a slap on the wrist, but Sheffield being the boss he is, calls them out for their BS. Honestly I’ve fallen in love with Sheffield and his willingness to throw the turd on the table with his tweets. He has a tremendous amount of BDE. There is much speculation about facts that nobody truly understands. I agree with an earlier statement, why punish an athlete for having a contract with a pro agent, but not the actual pro athlete? For I hope the last time, but I doubt it will be, GG is no more a "pro athlete" than HUNDREDS of hockey players and baseball players who have played, are playing and will be playing in the NCAA in those sports. She did not play professionally.

The problem is one of equity. The NCAA is enforcing a fantasy ideal of amateur status on women SAs for what? To protect them from being sullied by the evils of the real world of monied professional sports? What is the theory here? Why don't we apply the rules to same way to men? Just as I was writing this, Punzel reports on the viewpoint of Bramschreiber and her counsel on this issue. They further point out that this kind of ruling unduly affects volleyball, for which agents are necessary to pursue overseas contracts, as opposed to SAs playing in sports with professional leagues in NA. madison.com/sports/volleyball/ncaa-forces-wisconsin-volleyball-transfer-to-sit-for-half-of-season/article_a5d8c16e-74bd-54b8-8da1-3fcd55376e74.html“I think that Shanel can be a voice to not only women and not only volleyball players, but even other athletes in general who have been disproportionately impacted by these rules and by the decision makers. That’s the silver lining that I do see here and I know she is just as passionate about this, more than her legal team, because it’s actually happening to her. I think that she’s a leader that’s supposed to fight for others on this subject and I know that she’s ready to do that." More power to her.

Is Sydney Reed not part of the DS conversation at all? We haven't seen her in the role yet. That's why she's not discussed much. We've seen Boyer and AnnaMac before, the latter sparingly, so she also doesn't get a ton of discussion. AnnaMac at least has had sets as libero in preseason. We are not even sure there will be a DS if they run a 6-2 and both outsides play 6 rotations.

McCaa and Reed lining up publically in support of Bramschrieber and against the NCAAs ruling. Lots of support from teammates apparently.

Punzels article cleared much up for tonight at least EXCEPT #1 serving specialist now that Izzy has been elevated.Gülce I wouldn't think is gonna serve for herself at this point.
My guess is Boyer.

If it is a 6-2 and Smrek and Robinson are the two opps, and Crawford and Hart are the middles, doesn't that leave Demps as quite often "the odd woman out"? From what he said, the only time Demps will be on the right is when Hart sits out a set and Robinson slides over from the right to the middle.

That whole bit was confusing if thinking about it from a 5-1 perspective, but now I realize Punzel's comments may come from watching them run a 6-2 in practice. Will they run Robinson from the RS instead of Demps in a 6-2 if Hart is in? I had assumed CC would see the bench if Hart and Robinson were both healthy enough to start at middle, but he seems to be implying CC would first name on the team sheet there - at least until Hart is back to full health.

Is that not correct?

What I read Punzel to be saying is that when Hart is in, the lineup will be Izzy and MJ serving with Smrek and Robinson as their opposites, Orzol and Franklin on the left playing 6 rotation, Hart and Crawford at middle and GG at libero. And that's it. And when Hart sits out, the lineup will be Izzy and MJ serving with Smrek and Demps (or Wrobel) as their opposites, Orzol and Franklin on the left playing 6 rotation, Robinson and Crawford at middle and GG at libero. The only time Demps plays is when Hart sits out - which will, we hope, be less and less as time goes on - and only in the front row, no backrow attacking. Do I have something wrong there?
