Really interesting stuff. I'm not sure where this will go, but student-athletes are generally speaking a hard-working and deserving group of people. Good role-models for our kids to see in advertisements. The University will peripherally benefit somewhat with additional advertising of the athletes, too (I think).
Also, D-1 Women's VB is a headcount sport, so no partial scholarships for walk-ons.

“They (fans) only see us for a couple months out of the year but we work year round on our sport so it makes it really hard to have a job. It definitely helps to being able to count on something else for an income to be able to pay for school.” Bollweg says.
