Packed arenas. Electric atmospheres. Championship environments. Wall-to-wall TV coverage.
We’re doing a disservice to our top volleyball athletes by not allowing them to experience these great events.

I think most conferences do have tournaments. It's just the big ones that don't.

The Big East gets one nationally televised match per year. The championship match. So you might not get as much coverage as basketball does, but a conference tournament would almost certainly desirable to networks.

Does anyone know which weekends the D2 & D3 conference tournaments are? And when the D2/D3 NCAA playoffs are? I feel like it moves around every year.

Gonna cut back the regular season to fit this in?

I doubt that we will see a conference tournament in the B1G when they have great matchups the last 2 weeks of the season like last season.
WISCONSIN at PENN STATE PURDUE at NEBRASKA MINNESOTA at OHIO STATE WISCONSIN at NEBRASKA PURDUE at PENN STATE MINNESOTA at NEBRASKA WISCONSIN at OHIO STATE
To me, this is a lot more entertaining than a tournament.

I don’t see why “conference tournament” would magically result in “packed arenas” and “wall to wall TV coverage.”

I get your point, but don’t think this is the time for this move.

No interest in my team participating in a conference tournament. None. I don't even like the basketball tournament except for conferences that only send an automatic qualifier, and even then I resent it a little bit because of how much it diminishes the regular season. I do understand other people enjoy them, though.

If volleyball ever gets that popular, they'll have conference tournaments too.

Not a fan of them in volleyball. The one exception being if they're used to determine the conference's automatic qualifier in a conference that usually only sends one team from the conference.

They certainly make a lot more sense now that the Conferences are too bloated for a full H-A round robin.
