79 Big Ten volleyball matches on national TV? You heard it right. This season, the Big Ten Network is bringing you at least 63 of them. Buckle up, because this is where the action is.
Nebraska's Top Spot
Nebraska's not just in the spotlight. They're owning it. Ranked #1 in the AVCA/TARAFLEX Preseason Top 25, the Cornhuskers are setting the pace. This team isn't just good—they're a problem. With Penn State hot on their heels at #2, you know this season's going to be a thriller.
Big Ten Teams to Watch
It's not just Nebraska and Penn State making waves. Wisconsin sits at #8, proving they're no joke. Minnesota at #11, Purdue at #15, UCLA at #18, and USC at #21 round out a powerhouse conference lineup. And don't sleep on Oregon and Washington—they're lurking just outside the top 25, ready to strike.
Broadway Block Party
The inaugural Broadway Block Party in Nashville is where the rubber meets the road. On August 31, Nebraska faces Kentucky, Purdue takes on Tennessee, and Illinois battles Vanderbilt. Three matches, one day, endless excitement. Catch it all on the ESPN networks.
Showcase in Pittsburgh
Mark your calendars, because the State Farm Women’s College Volleyball Showcase lands in Pittsburgh from August 31 to September 1. It's a volleyball feast, and you won't want to miss a single serve.
The Takeaway
Seven teams in the preseason top 25? That's straight up dominant. The Big Ten is the real deal this season. Nebraska might be leading the pack, but every team is gunning for glory. And just like that, the race is on.
