No sport in CUSA can be done on the cheap, traveling to Timbuktu and back twice a season is obnoxious.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there basically no interaction between CUSA teams until the conference meet? It's not like they have a conference season of dual or quad meets; it's mostly invitationals, right? So ODU wouldn't have to go to Texas or Louisiana unless they wanted to.

That's how CUSA tennis, golf and rowing work.

We are already strapped on our current budget...wouldnt adding more be a problem?

If we have indoor volleyball do we also start beach volleyball?

I sure hope so. I'd be going to a lot of beach volleyball games.

I'm kinda shocked we're 3 pages into a volleyball thread and Petey hasn't shown up with pictures yet.

Petey is that you?

Do you think we might start taking on the occasional pay game in football to shore up areas of the athletic program that need it?

Don't we already have one scheduled with the Fighting Falwells?

The Liberty game is a rare "I'll pay you to beat me up in front of my home crowd" kind of game; very much an abnormality. I'm thinking that the financial needs brought on by the addition of volleyball/softball might push us to schedule likely-to-obvious losses for the money.

They've had so much time to prepare for this added cost, I'm sure they have a concrete plan on how this all fits into the budget. I'm sure some of this penny pinching is in direct response to adding one or more of these sports, as well as the future capital projects we are planning. I don't think pay games are necessary but they do make it a lot easier.

I wouldn't mind another crack at $1M Vanderbilt

Yessss that place is the bomb. Line moves a lot faster than it looks too.

I ate there a couple years ago in Gatlinburg and it was awesome. The sweet potato pancakes with honey butter and maple syrup were on point.

I've been to both Pancake Pantry locations and proudly boast both a lime-green coffee mug and a "don't pat your pancakes" bumper sticker on my truck. I would say that the Pantry is my favorite pancake joint by a mile, even factoring in the six or seven at the Oceanfront and the 280 or so in Williamsburg.

The cinnamon cream sauce is great on everything, even if you have to pay extra for it (you don't if you're getting the sweet potato pancakes).

Definitely go there next time you're in Nashville (or Gatlinburg, though they don't take plastic at that location).

Anyone have new information on this? I have seen a couple comments here and there. but nothing concrete

Softball isn't happening, too expensive.

How do you know this?
