ESPN adds commentary to first two rounds of NCAA volleyball tournament

According to World Herald Sports’ Lincoln Arneal, ESPN has updated its coverage plans for the NCAA volleyball tournament. All matches in the first two rounds will now include commentary and be shown live on ESPN platforms. The statement released by ESPN states that, “despite the variety of challenges related to the pandemic, all 47 matches will be live on ESPN platform and will include commentators.”

This comes after the NCAA faced severe backlash over news emerged yesterday about unsafe courts and a lack of coverage for the first two rounds of the tournament.

There is no word yet on who those commentators will be or what the schedule looks like.
