The AAC and its rocket/p6 campaign certainly couldn't afford to take any more blows. Bad news for them, I too am now contractually obligated to adjust my primary conference loyalty and have been bought out by the $EC. I'm ready to join ya'll for 2022. It just occurred to me...are you now contractually obligated to hype the Big Ten as well due to USC's impending move?

However, the SEC is on an upward trajectory. It Just Means More. Volleyball will continue to grow and will be the #2 conference before we know it. The SEC, PAC, and B1G have also taken the last three NCAA titles. I'm not in a bad place!

AVCA announced this year's Hall of Fame class today and it includes LSU's Fran Flory. Well deserved honor for a legend of the game. A national champion as a player, a successful coach, and a pioneer helping the game grow both indoors and on the beach. Looking forward to hearing her on SEC volleyball broadcasts in the near future.

I think we will see the SEC schools continue to throw more and more money at volleyball - whether that is in the way of facilities, NIL opportunities, or marketing, etc.

I root for a university that wins bowl games and national championships in various sports, and I thoroughly enjoy watching SEC teams thrash schools from other conferences.

This is a chicken or the egg thing: Lack of conference pride is for fans of crappy conferences! And I find it so by sport! The SEC fans have lots of conference pride in sports that they dominate like football. So does the B10 in sports like volleyball. They are always on here comparing measuring their superiority compared to the P12. Conversely, they show very little conference pride in football where they are historically overrated, have abysmal conference bowl results and are completely dominated by the SEC. What is there to have pride in?

We've got some scrimmages that have already happened and more coming up. Any reports? UofSC had a scrimmage this past weekend and the transfer L is killing it. Which I think we all knew she would. That will be a big help to the Cocks.

Arkansas travels to Missouri State on Thursday, but I don't expect to get a lot of coverage - either online or social media - from either school. Just sort of isn't their thing.
