I don’t think, for UH anyway, Title IX is too weak. UH fields 7 men’s sports, 12 women’s sports, and 2 co-ed sports. Roughly, there are 400 student athletes participating in UH Athletics and the gender split is about even (50/50). I would say Title IX is hard at work and very effective.

37-38. The reason for the sellouts of 94-95 (yes, Lungquist, Ah Mow, Robins)
1. the arena was brand new in 94. 2 sellouts, opening night and final Big West home match.
2. the 95 team was undefeated until the NCAA regional final vs. Michigan State. They sold out 5 of the final 7 home matches, 2 against Long Beach State and all 3 NCAA tournament matches.

38. not sure what federal admission is but there was reserved seating in parts of the arena from the beginning. It was not the total first come-first served situation of Klum Gym.

39. Title IX is part of the amendments to the Education Act of 1972, which is the amended part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was not intended to impact athletics but it eventually was applied to athletics because chools received federal funding.

There is no correlation between the law and UH’s football-volleyball situation.

22. Wildcard: Mahalo for the notice!

More information: “The match will be aired on CBS Sports Network on Saturday, December 20th at 6:00pm ET (tape delay) and Sunday, December 21st at 9:30pm ET (tape delay).”

Last year’s program was published by AVCA Volleyball on YouTube in mid-January 2014, so that will likely be an option next month for those who miss this weekend’s broadcast.

34. sounds like title ix is too weak. maybe need to create a title x or something similar to separate womens athletics to make it independent of a ‘lousy’ football program. once that is established volleyball should be promoted to max possible.

but hey its america right? nobody is interested on espn and other sports venues on other than football playoffs or basketball all-star games (mens). think nfl and nba respectively. wnba is hardly found, noticed, or have folded and i believe there were some a couple or few professional womens volleyball leagues which have ceased to exist.

now, i like football and basketball but am also tired of them the same watching them all the time. america needs some more womens sports league namely volleyball and basketball to be added into the attack, and by design.

One of the main reasons the Wahine sold out in ’94 – ’95 is the fans were FEDERAL ADMISSION. First come, first serve seating.

33. Yes, I referring to women’s volleyball attendance. I meant Nebraska has more fans in attendance.

33. Were the 1994, 1995 and 1996 seasons the Ah Mow and Lundquist era? If not, who were the main starters for those seasons?

29. Agree Magill could have been set more but much depends on how teams stacked the block and the passing.
Higgins set a pretty balanced offense IMHO.
Manu-Olevaowho mixed 3 matches had 820 attempts, Greeley 798, Taylor who missed 7 matches 657. Magill 558.

25. Wahine volleyball made money almost from the beginning, including sellouts of Blaisdell and capacity crowds at Klum Gym before moving to the SSC.
