Grand Canyon University announced the discontinuation of its varsity men’s volleyball program after 17 years following the end of the team’s season last week. Men’s volleyball will continue to be offered as a club sport at GCU.
In a rapidly evolving college athletics landscape, GCU is constantly evaluating how it can best position itself as a Division I athletic department and a university. The move will allow GCU to focus on supporting its remaining 20 athletic programs at the highest levels in their respective conferences.
Men’s volleyball is currently sponsored by 27 of more than 360 Division I institutions and no current members of the Mountain West Conference.
GCU is committed to providing support services to its impacted student-athletes. Those wishing to finish their academic careers at GCU will be able to do so at their existing athletic scholarship levels. The university also offers one of the nation’s most robust club sports programs that includes men’s volleyball. Those wishing to transfer to other institutions will receive assistance and support in doing so.
