You seem reasonable so I won't lump you in with the normal Iowa dorks who come over. (I still think it's funny you guys visit so often. But this is a big week so there's some grace).
Anyway - I am a Husker football die-hard for 56 years. Not a huge fan of women sports. In the last 5 years I've decided to wade into the waters of women's basketball and women's volleyball. Although I am Big Red, I consider myself a bit neutral in this discussion because I never grew up rooting for NU VB, BB, etc. Just football.
I don't mean to preach to you - but I will be direct. You are a bit ignorant in this area. Not a shot at you - I was ignorant about VB vs. WBB 5 years ago. I started watching Clark and Iowa because she is
legit. Fun to watch. First time I remember seeing a woman legit play like a dude. Meanwhile, I started watching Nebraska VB and they are legit and fun to watch. Here's the thing: Remove Clark and women's basketball is absolutely unwatchable for me. Iowa Women's BB, WNBA, NCAA Tournament - all of it. They are slow, flat footed, can't jump, and a good
Jr. High boys team can beat most of them. TRUTH. Nearly all good HS teams we read about would crush them.
Not the case with Volleyball. First off, you said there is no comparable men's sport. Wrong. I grew up watching volleyball in the Olympics - men and women. Women's is simply more fun to watch. Not even close IMO! Men are too strong and one good spike and it's over. Women's ice skating is more enjoyable than men's - but we know that's for a different reason

. Same with volleyball, women's is more enjoyable to watch - and not for that reason.
There is ZERO chance a boy's Jr. High Volleyball team could beat Nebraska. And if you can find me 6-10 boys in High School who would beat Nebraska I would be shocked. Not going to happen (Yes, some of that is because boys don't practice like in hoops). You should take a look. We are talking 6'4 - 6'6'' and a few of them look like Jordan coming in from the back row with their hops. I mean they are FLYING. And the spike - Monsters. Beasts (with beauty). They look
nothing like these lame women hoopsters who jump about 3.5 inches for a layup.
Women's volleyball may not be as popular (yet), but it is a no contest on which is more enjoyable for me to watch. Not even close (unless Clark is playing) And I don't say that because of allegiance - like I said, I've never had allegiance to NU volleyball before these past few years. And the best news? When NU's best volleyball players graduate like Clark from Iowa, it is STILL awesome to watch. The athleticism is off the charts. Women's bball is a bunch of angry, un-athletic and flat-footed gals with limited talent. JMO.
I invite you to watch a Nebraska - Penn State game or Nebraska - Texas VB match next year. If you are open-minded, there is ZERO comparison athletically and entertainment wise. A lot of guys aren't fans because their school stinks at volleyball they don't have a team, or just haven't been exposed to it. It's like you trying to convince a guy in N.Carolina to enjoy WBB and he's never seen Clark play.
