After a thrilling 2024 NCAA D1 Volleyball Championship, a new season beckons. With the country’s volleyball scene undergoing some massive changes in recent months, it’s undoubtedly going to be a year to remember. However, there might be more to look forward to in the season for fans of the SEC conference. In recent years, apart from the Texas Longhorns, other South Eastern Conference volleyball programs haven’t had much of an impact on the national scene. However, all that could change, and soon!
Huskers Illustrated’s Lincoln Arneal shared massive news for volleyball fans via X on April 10. After almost two decades, the SEC volleyball tournament is set to make a comeback! Sharing the Longhorns’ SEC schedule, Arneal notes, “The SEC schedule format this year is one match against the other 15 league teams. They will then close the year with a conference tournament in Savannah, Ga.”
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, in a press release, stated that the decision to relaunch the championship came as a desire to give the programs a better chance of showing their worth at the NCAAs. “We look forward to providing a memorable experience for SEC student-athletes, coaches and fans as we make Savannah home to the SEC Volleyball Tournament for the next three years,” Sankey said.
