just for clarity.

Hawaii will be continuing in MVB

Hawaii will be continuing in Beach VB. their program has struggled last few years compared to us & Cal Poly

Hawaii will be continuing in H20 Polo for women

it is interesting that those are the 3 sports where Hawaii has actually been the BEST at over the last 5 years, even more so than WVB

they have been national top 5/10/20 programs in those respective sports. MVB being the big dog.

Hawaii leaving is not actually that dire, and frankly it would not be a shock if they return someday albeit I suspect that if the MW went south, Hawaii would explore the WCC, but then the WCC does not have MVB either.
