US NCAA Women's VB

    Quote from akitoakie

    Can anyone explain the substitution rules in NCAA? Feels like they can sub as much times as they want. Sorry, jsut starting to follow NCAA.

    There are fifteen subs maximum permitted in any one set. There are many sets which, when the teams go into extra points (over 25; but not winning by two) they are stuck with undersized Defensive Specialists who then have to play front row/All 6 positions. Other players are then out-of-position, substitution-wise!

    Hello, is there a thread for men's NCAA championship? I am a fan of Hawaii. Their setter was good last season.


    Edit: Just saw a brief clip of Hawaii VS Charleston. Hawaii is starting with new setter. Did the last setter graduated?

    I actually modeled this thread's heading/positioning, title, & format after a 2019 NCAA MVB site. That poster/OP will probably start a new 2020 one, I'll bet you

    The members who were discussing the men's 2019 NCAA season are now actively having conversations about this current (2020) campaign in that '19 thread.

    I saw Megan Miller will transfer from Nebraska to NorthWestern:( I hope she will be a starting libero there, she deserves that!

    Also Anezka Szabo will leave Nebraska for Kansas and Capri Davis for Texas.

    So it looks like atleast the bench of Nebraska will be less competitive...


    Are there any other notable transfers in NCAA?

    Do you guys have any thoughts about this new league? This post is from Rumors, but I wanted to talk about the league in special... Big players are buying this idea, fine, but what about the unknown players, or that players that don't go pro because they don't want to leave America? What a 6-week event with no clubs or stability will do for them? It's so odd

    6 weeks are really short and every week new teams will be really messy. I think the league is only attractive for veterans, (older) players who don't want to play overseas like for example McCage and players who just graduated from college. So I really doubt it will work?( The most important thing is they find some good sponsors, because that was the reason it failed last time...

    Anyway I think it's better than nothing and I will follow the matches for sure!:cheesy:

    Is this a good thing? Bad thing? I don't follow men's leagues

    They look more like pro short tournaments than pro leagues. I followed NVA since it started and it is full of guys that don't like going overseas anymore, sand players and old glories. The level was even decent, some of them were former olympians, but they played in ugly gyms, no crowd, one-camera streaming, messy website for stats and stuff like that.


    Watching a legend like Lloyd Ball playing NVA made me sad sometimes. He was the best setter in the world and now he has to play in front of nobody just to realize his dream of playing volleyball at home, in the USA.


    Most of the NVA teams moved in the new Volleyball League of America, so NVA had new expansion teams. Now there are 2 men's leagues :lol: which don't make a good one together. :gone:


    Anyway, I'm happy for those guys as long as playing home makes them happy.


    Destinee Hooker with an all time record kills in NCAA, scoring 34 points for Texas in the final of the 2009 national championschip against Penn State. What an athlete!!! :super::cheesy::obey:
