HONOLULU – The 2021 University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball schedule is beginning to take shape with the announcement of the Big West Conference slate and a season-opening non-conference road trip.
The Big West schedule includes 10 league matches, however, the teams are allowed to schedule additional non-conference matches against one another. Some of those matches have not yet been finalized.

Hawai‘i will host the Big West Tournament, April 22-24 at SimpliFi Arena.

Just horrible. They’re making money off sports during the pandemic. What else these players got to do? Nothing but play sports. Now it’s Volleyball. The chances of catching the virus increases. And anybody can catch it. What will they come up with to offset the effect? No social distancing.
