Sarah Franklin, the reigning NPOY, was NOT voted as an unanimous selection. The committee voted for Beason, Mruzik(why) and Rodriguez. Posters are sharing different theories on the “Big Ten 2024 - Oh My!” forum. I won’t include any in this post, as I do not want to manifest ANY bad energy. What do we think could be the reasoning for this? My take is somebody thinking Charlie will struggle and that will affect Sarah. I really doubt this. She was NPOY in a 6-2 with Ashburn and Hammill. Hard to believe any will think a 5-1 with a top, highly decorated national recruit will change things for the negative.

For all we know it's just that Sheffield refuses to vote for his own players in this poll just like he can't in the post season poll. Frankly, I agree with him if so. Coaches shouldn't be allowed to vote for their own players. That they do means the poll means even less than I thought it did.

The obvious choice would be the day after Halloween against Nebraska, although therre would be a lot of Nebraska fans making that trip, I fear. The other option is one of the Sunday gamnes going to Fox and they want the big venue for it.

I wouldn't give up that apparent advantage if I were them.

I wouldn't give up that apparent advantage if I were them. I wholeheartedly agree. I also don't see it being any game after mid-October because the KC is already so busy shuffling between mens and womens basketball and mens hockey that I don't know how they'd have enough time to put down a volleyball court for a few days without disrupting all of the other sports. There's already an October 29th exhibition game for the women's basketball team on the schedule. I could see it being the September 17th game against Marquette; plenty of fans to come down I-94 from Milwaukee and it's early enough that the Kohl Center hasn't hit basketball/hockey yet.

Why leave the Fieldhouse to play in the basketball arena? With all the money the administration has poured into the Fieldhouse, it seems strange to move a match across the campus.

I assume the Bradley exhibition will be, as well.

If, as others have logically reasoned out, the Marquette match is the one that will be in the Kohl Center, they know they can come close to filling it since they filled the Fiserv arena in Milwaukee last year. I provides a chance to recoup some of the investments in the Field House, and to build the kind of statewide interest you see for Husker-Blue Jay matches. I imagine a lot of girls vball clubs and HS teams show up at these things, so it's good for Wisconsin girls/women's volleyball too.

It’s a nice gesture to Marquette, might take a little sting off their not being part of the Fiserv thing this time in their back yard.
