In response to the H1N1 flu outbreak, the NCAA volleyball rules committee has recommended that teams forgo the traditional pre and post game handshakes."The committee based its decision on continued monitoring of the H1N1 flu outbreak and feedback from member institutions," NCAA Director of Public and Media Relations Erik Christiansen told USA Today. "Depending on the progression of the outbreak, adjustments could be made in the best interests for the health and well-being of student-athletes who are competing in NCAA championships."
