I think we can hope that one day we add another women's sport and get mens volleyball back.  The problem is that there aren't a lot of good candidates.  Prior to this the only women's sport we didn't offer was Bowling.  Thats right, Bowling.

Easy.  My granddad played on Stanford's bowling team in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

That leaves one more mens sport to cut.  We compete in three sports that very few NCAA schools support: mens volleyball, mens water polo and mens gymnastics.  One has to go.  Unfortunately for volleyball, the other two sports won national titles last year.  The mens volleyball team had a losing season and despite a couple decent runs over the years, our results just haven't been that good for a sport that only 4 other power 5 schools sponsor.

I think we can hope that one day we add another women's sport and get mens volleyball back.  

Rumor I hear is that a number of MVB patrons approached LSJU about what it would take to get men's volleyball back.  A ridiculous number (think eight figures) was mentioned.  A concerned group started to make progress towards that number, then allegedly, LSJU said (in essence) "not at any price."  Allegedly.
