BREAKING: Vanderbilt adds volleyball as a varsity sport

Vanderbilt has for years stuck out like a sore thumb as the only SEC member school not to field a volleyball team. That’s also true of softball, though that sport has the issue of not having a facility available (and Vanderbilt not really having any space to add a softball field), but it’s never been true of volleyball, which could simply play at Memorial Gym. That will change in a few years, with the Commodores fielding a varsity volleyball team for the first time since the program was previously shut down in 1979.
