Well, good.
Next don't make it a waiver.
This is not the NCAA's responsibility. Not really. But I'd love for there to be a systemic way for programs to schedule meaningful nonconference matches later in the season. That's what makes the practice time so important. The pre conference clashes are vital for determining seeding, and seeding is vital for deep runs. It's crazy to me that some of the most important matches of the year are played with so little preparation before hand.

So then for this season:
1. The first possible day of competition is Friday, August 30 2. If the team has a game scheduled for that day then the team can start practicing on August 8?
If someone can let me know if I've got that right it would be appreciated- thanks!

My university class in differential equations was a long long time ago, but the math checks out to me.

It amazes me that basketball gets 15 scholarships (when they only have 5 players on the court), yet volleyball only gets 12 (but they have 6 players on the court). With the continued growth of volleyball, I think it is only a matter of time before they give more scholarships.

I've done some interviews and will have a story on this Saturday afternoon.

With the NORCECA Continental Championship ending on July 1 this year, there should be plenty of time for rest and recovery for players on the USAV U21 team.

I think it’s ridiculous in what’s supposed to be a full scholarship sport, programs are giving out 3 for 1s and 2 for 2s because they need the added numbers on the roster. Most programs can’t even run 6 on 6s without added scrimmage players in the spring. I would love to see 15 full scholarships.

It would be fun if there were a week, maybe in late October, that was set aside for non-conference matchups.
The current schedule obviously was designed around the idea that the most important part of the season is conference play, and the weeks before that are tune-ups. But for years now the NCAA has hugely emphasized OoC results when selecting and seeding teams for the tournament, which sort of turns that original idea inside out.

With the continued growth of volleyball, I think it is only a matter of time before they give more scholarships. There's a lot of craziness out there in this regard even in headcount sports. For example, gymnastics has 12 full scholarships but has 4 events with 6 competitors each. Not all gymnasts can do all events, so a lot of crucial routines are done by walk-ons. Then, you get to the equivalency sports. Softball generally has 10 starters (9 hitters and a pitcher), although you can go with 9. They get 12 scholarships to break up between players. Soccer has 11 starters but only 14 to break up between players.

A few years ago they cut away practices from schools with an earlier class start date. Now they add time back. Football still gets 30 days to prepare because of acclimation and they’re still in hot water from a title nine stance. The real advantage is for all the schools who don’t have class until mid September and just fly around for preseason and are semi professional 14 weeks starting with summer school in June.

Logistically it's a nightmare, but wih the growth of the sport I hope this can be worked on. Imagine a Halloween weekend wih Nebraska playing Louisville and Wisconsin playing Pitt for essentially Top 4 seeds.

Blame the 85 scholarships football receives that has to be made up for in women's sports to comply with Title IX. Something has to give, and it isn't going to be football.
