Here is Sheffield press conference. He isn't even sure if Shanel will be playing. Should be simple for Coach Sheffield as I think it's obvious that Shenal provides an upgrade when replacing Franklin in the backrow (Julia also has been seeing some nice backrow attack action time to time so his liking what he has for backrow attack options shouldn't be a concern) I feel he wants the interplay between Franklin and Gülce to solidify by the time when we go on a playoff run. So he likely wants to have them on court together as much as possible to build that chemistry and grow in how they playoff each other. I believe it's best that Bramshreiber is a regular contributor on an every game basis. Based on Sheffields comments it seems she'll come in to maybe put out an occasional fire. |

Makes you wonder if the initial plan to have Shanel start the season and ease GG in got thrown out the window, and that her opportunity to play is now significantly diminished compared to what it could have been. The comments about the backrow row attack option doesn’t sound good for pretty much anyone to come in as a DS (consistently/regularly), and might leave only SS as an option.

Here is Sheffield press conference. He isn't even sure if Shanel will be playing. He mostly said he wasn't sure how she might fit in, since they like how GG is playing and like the backrow attack option in every rotation. I hope they find a way to get her in there. Maybe it will just be situational like Demps. |

My guess is what he said was he's not interested in giving Iowa and Michigan a 4 and 6 days head start on preparing for this weekend's matches.

Article by Polzin about Shanel’s situation and Sheff’s opinion of it. Spoiler alert - he’s not a fan. There is a bias against women’s sports and a bias against volleyball players whose only option for assessing options overseas is an agent.
Some tidbits here concerning cases of male football players who have been granted leniency - including one from Wisconsin. That clarifies to me why UW is behind her so clearly on the issue.
The NCAA stated that they did not apply the same leniency in her case because she knew that she had another year of eligibility when she hired the agent, whereas the badger football player in a similar situation supposedly did not know he had eligibility remaining. That seems a strange basis on which to render such a divergent opinion.
Speaking of which, Sheffield apparently talked to a volleyball transfer student who did the exact same thing, and is now playing regularly for a top team because she just did not admit to the NCAA that she had hired an agent. Shanel did and she was punished for her honesty.
Another thing appears to be that the panel making these decisions does not comment on other decisions, and therefore does not have to defend apparent discrepancies in application of the rules. That makes me wonder if they ever consider those other cases when they make decisions.
The NCAA is painting this a lenient decision in the absence of that context. I can see why that position makes Sheffield and Shanel angry.

I think he said: my team is happy with their roles: and i dont want experiment with playing time and risk making players that are going to be here for the next 2 or three years unhappy. My young Lib. is doing better than expected and getting shanel playing time to see how it effects the team is an unnecessary risk caused by the NCAA committee that gave her a half season penalty. He did a good job being mad at the NCAA for the predicament: a good way to show Shanel he has her back and giving him wiggle room and it not being his fault that getting her playing time is ncaa’s fault! On another note being an advocate for womens volleyball that he has voluntarily taken on: i think its excellent that he has: but while at the same time he (and his big ten brethren) could have created amendments and asked for rules changes as a conference and with the Big’s political pull probably could get summer practice and agent’s stuff changed: if your going to place yourself as advocate: then advocate proactively dont just be a reactionary character. And while you are at it if you are aware of rules and can relate past examples of how your player has been unfairly judged then be a good example and don't be at HS game during a quiet period! Stones and glass houses and pots and all!! Good luck going forward! |

Back to more important things, how great was it to have Smrek back in the line-up. I just watched the game on replay and she was the difference-maker. Others played well, but w/o Smrek, who knows? |

I’m not on the cry in your beer bandwagon. I think the point is this kind of thing will keep happening, and maybe it shouldn't. If I were an administrator, I would be quite annoyed that the NCAA is forcing on me two incompatible decisions within my own institution. It undermines confidence in the whole idea of equity if the same case made for two students comes to different conclusions, right when the university is celebrating Title IX. It's even worse if their policies and justifications incentivize lying. Then it becomes a sham rule. It would annoy me even more if they have been saying they will fix things for a decade, and they still haven't. They need to fix it. If you don't make noise about it they won't fix it. They will continue to subject SAs to random decisions. |

Is there a place online where season ticket holder sell their tickets for matches? Are you trying to buy, or sell? For either, you can use StubHub. For matches like Nebraska and Minnesota, prices will run higher and it (and sites like it) will be your best/only way to find tickets to buy. And selling will be fairly easy. For other matches, there are varying numbers of tickets available for purchase at the UW web site. Tickets will also show up occasionally on Craigslist (click on Craigslist links for 'Madison' and then 'tickets' and then you can search for the particular opponent.) StubHub for UW volleyball: www.stubhub.com/wisconsin-badgers-women-s-volleyball-tickets/performer/1512818/CraigList- Madison tickets: madison.craigslist.org/search/tia |

I've also seen people just offer tix for sale (or request to buy) on here, and negotiate a deal via PM so you don't have to pay StubHub fees. Wisconsin Athletics has ticket forwarding for electronic tickets; for Print at Home the seller can email the PDFs to you. |
