Beach volleyball is a fast-growing sport in the NCAA, but with many schools still not offering scholarships to their players. Boise State was a school that just recently made the move to add scholarships to their players following the cut of the school’s wrestling program that offset the Title IX stipulations. In accordance with NCAA rules, beach volleyball programs are allowed up to 6 full-ride scholarships that can be split up among its roster. Additionally, players that receive beach scholarships cannot participate on the indoor team because of scholarship limitations for the indoor program, but indoor players can play beach.
Last season, Boise State went 5-6 overall with a limited schedule, which included two wins over the University of Oregon. The program is expected to hand out more scholarships as they see fit, as they are now allowed the full 6 scholarships.
