Depends on how you define popular.
-Volleyball is the highest participated HS team sport for girls in the US.
-Nebraska drew 92k for a match last fall.
-USA women are going for consecutive golds.
It’s almost like the media needs to pay attention.

Coming out is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made - being yourself is how we’re supposed to live!
Out gay volleyball coach Anders Nelson is thriving on all fronts. On top of celebrating his 1-year wedding anniversary, @VanderbiltU has hired him to lead its new volleyball program outsports.com/2023/1/13/2355…

10 players jump touched over 10 feet, 6 players hit 10’6” or higher, and somebody set a program record at 10’9”. Wear your masks, BBN. We want you to see this team in action! 🐰🐰 #GetUp #SoManyPRs

Appalling. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I'll share one: anyone who uses language like this at work, uses language like this in their daily lives. What you do or say when you think nobody's paying attention is exactly who you are.

I get to sit next to @UKCoachSkinner, the birthday guy, on our final flight home from Brazil. I may be jet lagged, but I’m incredibly thankful to work for a great mentor and friend. I still learn from him daily even after 8 years. HBD, boss man!

@VandyVolleyball found the perfect assistant in @Lauren_Plum4 because of her work ethic and passion for the game.
She is brilliant on the offensive side of the ball, and I can't wait to see the impact she makes on future Commodores! Let's do this, Plum Dog!! ⚓️⬇️
Welcome to the Music City!
Lauren Plum brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to Vanderbilt.
