Women's Volleyball

Post by Steve81 » Wed Jan 08, 2025 10:51 am

Was reading the MAC Handbook from 2021 and looks like NIU can not stay for Olympic sports and we must add women's volleyball.
H. Participation
Each full Conference member shall participate in a minimum of four Conference-sponsored sports, of which two must be football and basketball for men and two must be volleyball and basketball for women. The Conference shall sponsor 11 sports for men and 12 sports for women. A majority of member institutions must compete in a sport for it to be considered a Mid-American Conference-sponsored sport and approved as a Conference sport by a majority vote of the Council of Presidents. Note: Field Hockey, Men's Swimming & Diving, Wrestling, and Men's Tennis are exceptions to this last requirement.
Bolded the women as looks like we must start women's volleyball.
It will help with Title IX.
Go UMass!!
