Does anyone care about women's college volleyball?

Creighton into the Top 10 this week with matchups against three Top-7 teams in their next six games. Volleyball is our school's best chance to win a natty, so hopefully, this is the year, and I'm keeping track of the games closely.

My question: Do any other fanbases give a flip about (indoor) volleyball?

Nebraska? Texas? Kentucky? Anyone?



You get the funniest poses with mid-point pictures.

I watch a ton of women's college volleyball but don't really care who wins.

Very popular in the Big Ten. Top teams like Penn State, Wisconsin and Nebraska routinely sell out matches.

Yes, women’s college volleyball has grown significantly in popularity, particularly in recent years, with larger fanbases and increased media coverage. Certain universities are known for having exceptionally large and passionate fanbases.

A few notable programs include:
1. **University of Nebraska** – Nebraska is arguably the most well-known school for women’s volleyball. The Cornhuskers regularly sell out home games at their 8,000-seat Devaney Center, and they recently set an attendance record by hosting a match in their football stadium with over 90,000 fans.

2. **University of Wisconsin** – The Badgers have also developed a large fanbase, consistently selling out home games at the UW Field House, and they are one of the top teams in terms of performance and support.

3. **University of Texas** – The Longhorns have a strong volleyball tradition and a devoted fanbase, with matches regularly drawing large crowds, particularly during NCAA tournament runs.

4. **Penn State University** – Another powerhouse in women’s volleyball, Penn State has a long history of success and a loyal fanbase that supports the team at Rec Hall.

5. **University of Minnesota** – Minnesota has a passionate volleyball following, with fans filling Maturi Pavilion for matches, especially during the postseason.


The rise in interest has been driven by the sport's competitiveness, television broadcasts (especially during the NCAA tournament), and increasing visibility on platforms like ESPN and the Big Ten Network.

The North is good because it’s indoor volleyball. It’s like hockey
California and Florida would murder you at real volleyball

I used to follow UF volleyball. Went to a lot of games when I was a student. I always parked next to the arena for class, and getting in as a student was free. UF was very good and in contention for a national title but was never quite at the level of the teams that actually ran volleyball. Over time UF has slipped a bit and I stopped following as much. Too many other things going on in life.

It has become pretty big at Louisville. Dani Busboom Kelly has taken our program to new heights. Been here 8 years and has taken us to 2 Final Fours, including a National Championship game appearance. I heard ESPN say that the Nebraska vs Louisville game will be the first ever college volleyball game aired on ABC in a couple of weeks

Our schedule this season is ridiculously tough
#8 Wisconsin
#16 Tennessee
#3 Penn State
#9 Creighton
#10 Kentucky
#5 Nebraska
#1 Pittsburgh (Twice)
#15 Georgia Tech
#2 Stanford (Twice)
#20 Miami
#21 Florida State

Looking forward to our game against Creighton

I just know it’s the Travel baseball of girls youth sports. But more expensive

Think that’s regular season.

The Finals have been on ABC the last couple years IIRC

South Dakota. Very popular here too. We beat Missouri this past weekend and actually won a set against #4 Louisville.

I know we've had matchups with Creighton over the years.

Host Iowa State, Montana State, and UTEP this weekend.

The sport is pretty popular across the Midwest.

I doubt it. I had to go to a bunch of games while in college at LSU and it was dreadfully boring

Didn't help that they were always mediocre at best
