Volleyball was one of twelve women 's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981 -- 82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the AIAW for sole governance of women 's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same twelve ( and other ) sports ; however, after a year of dual women 's championships, the NCAA won the fight and assumed the AIAW 's authority and membership. The first NCAA championship tournament was held in 1981, with 20 schools competing for the title. The tournament expanded gradually, moving to 28 teams in 1982, 32 in 1986, 48 in 1993, 56 in 1997, and finally to its current size of 64 in 1998. There is also an NCAA Men 's National Collegiate Volleyball Championship, which until 2012 was for both Division I and Division III, as there are far fewer men 's programs than women 's. However, since 2012 there have been separate tournaments for Division I and Division III teams. Champions The following is a list of Division I champions and runners - up with the champion 's overall record, city, site and other national semifinal participants. See Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women championships for the Division I volleyball champions from 1970 to 1981. NOTE : In 1981 there were both NCAA and AIAW champions.
