Women’s college volleyball is poised for a growth spurt in the coming years.

The game will get a big spotlight this summer under a deal struck between Full Day Productions and GSE Worldwide to produce “Spikes Under the Lights,” a showcase event that will bring the four best college teams in the nation together for a best-of-three competition for a $1 million purse. It’s set to air live Aug. 27 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Full Day and GSE are in the midst of finalizing a deal with a top TV network.
