Almost Fans

050: NCAA Volleyball - Powerhouses, Verticals, and Why the Whistle Blew

Season 1 Episode 50

College volleyball gets the Almost Fans treatment! We’re breaking down how the NCAA volleyball season actually works, from non-conference chaos to the 64-team tournament and Final Four powerhouses like Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas, and Stanford. We’ll explain the rules everyone pretends to understand (net touches, back-row attacks, libero chaos), spotlight just how athletic these players really are, and dig into the surprisingly high-tech world of volleyball gym floors. Expect laughs, funny trivia, and just enough rule knowledge to be dangerous.
