Volleyball?

I was looking for a women's sport to add. Didn't think it would be fair to just use men's sports to gauge athletic department strength although I suppose in reality, that's what is more accurate.

It appears to me that in PacXII, SEC, Big XII and in large parts of BigX country, women's volleyball easily tops soccer (men or women) in terms of popularity. Many of those schools sell out or come close to selling out most of their volleyball matches. The women's volleyball final four in Omaha has sold out each time it has been here. Women's soccer finals might get a thousand friends and family members and the mens soccer final four in KC a couple years back, which I attended, might have had 5,000. So, yeah volleyball is much more popular than soccer in a large part of the country (which by the way, I don't get, because I personally don't like watching volleyball).
