Fans React To Record-Setting TV Numbers For Nebraska Volleyball Game
Nebraska's incredible Volleyball Day did more than just bring in big crowd at Memorial Stadium. The ratings that it brought in on the Big Ten Network were stout as well.
According to the Big Ten Network's official account on X, the volleyball event set a world record. It had 518,000 viewers on their network, making it the most-watched, non-conference volleyball event in the network's history.
The event was also the second-most viewed regular season NCAA volleyball game across all networks in history.
The Nebraska volleyball program has been getting praise from all corners of the country and from big-name athletes across the world for what they were able to do for women's sports yesterday. And the praise just keeps pouring in after these numbers:
"Massive milestone for a sport whose time has come. Congrats to the whole team @BigTenNetwork. Can’t wait to see Minnesota-Wisconsin women’s volleyball on FOX on Sunday Oct. 29 with Vikings-Packers as the lead-in," Fox's Michael Mulvihill wrote.
"Could not be more proud to have be a part of this multi-record-setting game!! Let’s keep pushing!!!" wrote Emily Ehman of the Big Ten Network.
"When you combine the 92,003 fans in the stands with the 518,000 that watched on @BigTenNetwork, this is the most-watched regular season volleyball match EVER! Proud that BTN played a part in allowing so many people to experience it," BTN's Michael Calderon said in a repost.
Well done to everyone at Nebraska volleyball and the Big Ten Network.
