Ok, but I don't see how that helps us re: realignment which was the opening of the article. Can you explain how a good women's volleyball team makes KU more desirable?

For one it starts to change the perception that KU is not a one trick pony. That's all everyone thinks about KU. It's a basketball school. That's it. We need the volleyball team, football team, baseball team etc to get much better so other conferences see there are multiple reasons to add us.
The Big Ten already has good basketball teams, why do they want to add another school that is only good at hoops? We need to get better at other things to change the way our peers look at us. Having espn3 as a platform should help our coaches in recruiting. That in turn should have a trickle down effect into more of our programs getting better. Being competitive in multiple sports can do nothing but help KU's positioning should realignment come back. That is why it is important that the volleyball team continues to do well and football improves and baseball gets better and and and.
By the way, the Big Ten takes volleyball serious. If you want KU to go there you should know this. They are historically a very good conference in volleyball. Currently 8 of the top 25 schools in that sport are from the Big Ten.
