Most of the action in college volleyball recruiting comes in a flurry during the summer, especially at a top program like Nebraska. Manaia Ogbechie, a 6-foot-3 middle blocker from Santa Rosa Valley, California, committed to Nebraska on Monday, and announced it Wednesday. The late commit comes in part because Ogbechie was previously committed to Northwestern, which has since had a coaching change. “The culture of growth that Nebraska has, that’s exactly what I was looking for,” Ogbechie said.

In a conference hardly recognizable after realignment, Nebraska now knows its opponents and locations for the 2024-25 season. The Huskers will face Iowa, Ohio State and Maryland twice apiece, once at Pinnacle Bank Arena and once on the road. It will play Michigan State, Northwestern, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin and Washington on the road. This will be the first time in over a year Nebraska has traveled for games against Michigan State, Purdue, Penn State, Oregon or Washington. Loyola Chicago, Charleston, Charlotte, Hawaii and Oregon State — who Nebraska defeated in a neutral-site game last November — will also compete.

The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology or BUET has decided to resume postponed term final exams on May 11 after discussions with students who boycotted the tests for the restoration of a ban on politics. Prof Al Amin also said the university will appeal against a High Court order that stayed a ban on political activities on the campus. The university postponed the examinations amid a boycott on Apr 20. The demonstrators said they would return to academic activities if the authorities file an appeal challenging the High Court order staying the ban. Following a writ petition by the BCL activist, the High Court suspended the ban and asked why it should not be lifted permanently.
