As stated before, the newer programs will and are much better than those from just 3 to 4 years ago quickly due to many factors. The most important is the scholarships given along with the influx of talented student athletes from America and abroad. With the max limits coming along from the lawsuit, NCAA Men's Volleyball may start to look like the NFL in terms of parity.
What a time.
