Big Ten/ACC Challenge: Volleyball

[liberovb10]

I was starting to think of my wishlist for the 2022 season and pre-season matchups I would love to see. Then my mind went to the volleyball version of the B1G/ACC Challenge that the basketball programs already have set up.

The Final Four matchups gave us a glimpse into how intense and fun these matches could be, but would this work conference wide?

THis is already in place
2021: Duke/UNC vs Michigan/Michigan St
2019: Wisconsin and No. 3 Minnesota (27-4) represent the Big Ten, taking on Florida State (19-10) and North Carolina (8-19) from the ACC
2018: Minnesota/Wisconsin vs Florida St/UNC
2017: Minnesota/Wisconsin vs Louisville/UNC

it started in 2013 or 2014

I was thinking more conference wide, similar to the Men’s Basketball season

I was thinking along the same lines in terms of results, but I'd give the nod to BC and Clemson.

Penn State's sweep might hinge on who's coaching them.

Did you do your matchups purely on how teams finished in their respective conferences? ---- Oops that question shouldn't be directed to you knap.

This would be very fun. Why not Wisconsin-Louisville and Nebraska-Pitt? Rematch time! GT-OSU as well for that matter. Maybe Minnesota-UNC for a Shaffmaster battle.

BuckNut these matchups are spot on…how do we get you in the ears of coaches haha. I also like the Final Four rematch, talk about a great way to grow the game.
