Cool visuals! Hopefully Men's Volleyball will spread to those grey states! More growth of men's volleyball is coming, the middle school programs at the club level are ever growing!

The pipeline that feeds the college level is doing such great work. It will be key to the continued growth for sure.

If you throw NAIA Men's Volleyball in the mix that adds several more states and a lot more matches. I believe the NAIA has over 60 teams playing Men's VB this year.

Men's volleyball is growing in amazing ways. D-III and NAIA are just further proof of that.

We gotta capitalize and keep promoting it aggressively at the grass roots, especially in places like TX and FL where awareness of the dangers of football are catching up to CA.

Plenty of small colleges in particular can conceivably add men's volleyball if they're confident it will attract tuition-payers. Density reduces travel costs, too, and each program added increases the contribution potential for everyone else.

I think the density part is why we have seen conferences add as a whole. It makes the financial burden on all of the new teams a little easier. Exciting times!
