- Women’s basketball on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, & ESPNU. Meanwhile, only way to watch volleyball during first weekend of our tourney was on streaming service. The difference in coverage of the two sports is a slap in the face. No way there’s that much difference in viewership.
- The @NCAAVolleyball tourney is now underway!! Six days ago we had over a half million people watch one of our regular season matches on BTN. Right now I can watch boys high school & college women’s regular season basketball games on TV, but no tournament VB matches. Epic fail!
- Cathy saw this next to the Christmas tree yesterday before our match. Letter from a 6 year old. #prasinsmeanspresents
- This video was taken, unbeknown to her, 2 days after Christmas 2020 at 7:08pm. Snow’s coming down hard outside. She came back to campus early so she could get reps. It’s this work ethic, when nobody’s watching, that’s the key ingredient to @sydneyhilley becoming the player she is
00:00 - Hey @espnW, in the past year you’ve had 2,900 tweets. Only 17 have been about volleyball (14 of those over the course of 4 days). Don’t forget about the sport that more high school girls play than any other.
- I’m probably going to regret this tweet, but here’s a call for us all in the VB community to be less destructive on social media and message boards. It’s heartbreaking to hear from parents who are near tears when reading so many hurtful things about their kids. I’m hopeful.
- This class left a great legacy. 5 Regional Finals, 3 Final Fours, and a National Championship over the past five years. Although they were all here for different amount of times, each of their impacts were huge. I appreciate and love them all.
- When we were told 6 months ago there’d only be 48 teams in @NCAAVolleyball tourn. this year, we were just happy to have a season. I’m watching 68 BB teams compete. Our entire tourn. will be in one location-there’s the cost savings. @NCAA should do right thing & increase VB to 64.
- Thank you to all @BadgerVB fans for coming along on this journey with us. I couldn’t be more proud of the team. Every single day they gave everything that they had. I really enjoyed coaching this group, and I hope they entertained & inspired along the way.
- A picture is worth 1000 words🏆
- What a special team and season. Every single day they put it all out there for each other and this program. Big Ten Champs and the programs 4th Final 4. They competed hard, played for each other, & had a whole lot of fun along the way. I couldn’t be more proud of this group.
- Women’s basketball has had ALL 52 of their tournament games televised so far. @NCAAVolleyball had ZERO of their first 56. Volleyball should be seen in that same light, no metrics say that there should be that big of a disparity.NCAA Volleyball Final Four is on ESPN. I think this is the college sport that could grow the most from its current level of popularity. It’s fast, easy to follow, good on TV.
