2008 NEBRASKA VOLLEYBALL | huskers.com 114 | HISTORY Husker Volleyball: A Championship Tradition The Nebraska women played games against the University of Minnesota, home-and-home two weeks apart, again in March of 1908, losing both, the second after a five-minute overtime. Before the Minnesota games, Nebraska had defeated Nebraska Wesleyan to finish what was to be its final season with a 1-2 record against outside competition. University women were not allowed to compete in basketball, as well as other sports, only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908. In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the University board of regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. If not for the passing of Title IX by Congress in 1972, there probably would not be women’s intercollegiate athletics now. Initially, “there wasn’t an embracing of women’s athletics,” Pettit said. “It’s like any civil rights movement almost. It’s tolerated, and you have to educate the public as to what it means. Today if you asked on a ballot if women The first Husker volleyball team, coached by Pat Sullivan (far right, should have the opportunity to compete in sports, there second row), set the tone for future teams, compiling a 34-8 record and advancing to the AIAW regional finals in 1975. would be an overwhelming majority of people who would support it.
