Amy rumors of other B1G teams starting vb to form a conference? I think any new Big Ten team would need to be active for 2-3 years before a Big Ten MVB sponsorship would be formed. The already established teams would not join up if an autobid is not approved. You need at least 6 teams that have been active for 2/3 years - that's the only reason the Big West got an autobid right away |

I may have mis-heard him, but when the NEC auto-bid came up on Rob's podcast a couple of weeks ago, didn't Jay Hossack say something along the lines of keep an on this, there is stuff going on behind the scenes? Basically foreshadowing the now-announced Sacred Heart move and maybe/possibly hinting at another that would put NEC under 6? Maybe there is another NEC --> EIVA or NEC --> MIVA transfer that is about to happen.

Sacred Heart and Merrimack are both leaving NEC for MAAC, I guess we are just waiting to see if Merrimack MVB is staying with NEC. They also have 2 ECC teams (Daemen, D'Youville) and ECC have 4 other MVB teams now ... Also, does anyone know if GLVC is gonna sponsor men's volleyball? They will have 6 teams next year. |

Sheesh sounds like the NEC Volleyball could easily go the way of the PAC 12 if all that happens. |

Rumor has it that Merrimack is staying in the NEC, and they might have another east coast team starting a men's program that will join that conference as well in the next year or two. They should be fine.
