IRVING, Tex. – The Big 12 Conference has added three affiliate members in beach volleyball for the 2025-26 academic year. Boise State, Florida State and South Carolina will join Arizona, Arizona State and TCU in the Conference's beach volleyball league and will begin playing this spring. 

Florida State advanced to its ninth straight NCAA tournament in 2025 as a member of the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association, a conference it won seven times. The Seminoles have reached the NCAA tournament each year since its inception in 2016 and three times have played in the National Championship final: 2016, 2018 and 2022. 

FSU will face Arizona State and Boise State for the first time this season. Currently, the Noles are undefeated against Arizona and South Carolina with 2-0 and 25-0 records, respectively. Florida State has a 14-6 all-time lead against TCU as well. 

The 2026 Big 12 Beach Volleyball Championship will be hosted on campus at Arizona's Bear Down Beach.
