In the face of a challenging economic climate, colleges are having to adapt. Private universities are accepting more students in an attempt to stay liquid, and enrollment has increased in the larger schools because of layoffs affordability.

It was only three years ago that the Stanford men’s volleyball team finished a gut-wrenching 3-25 season (2-20 in conference play), but you wouldn’t know it from looking at Monday’s AVCA coaches poll. The Cardinal earned the No. 1 spot for the first time since February 6, 2001, when they held the top rank for only a week before finishing the season at No. 5.

The analysts were proved right last night with about 2 minutes to go – Kansas down by 9 points.  The Jayhawks continued …
