To be perfectly honest, why, I am praying, hoping and looking forward to the day that BOTH Rick & Cheryl have their own Wiki page: "Disgraced volleyball coaches to be behind bars for years"

We have no place in our sport for people who cover up sexual abuse of players.

Sports Officials Are Making Lists of People Barred for Sexual Misconduct. Big Lists.[/quote] Gymnastics recently had 178 people on its list. Swimming had 163. An additional 31 are on the list from taekwondo, 29 from figure skating and 33 more from judo. The lists reflect the hundreds of people who have been barred, often for sexual misconduct, from the federations running these sports as well as others overseeing the development of Olympic athletes. A few of the names are well known, perhaps none more than Lawrence G. Nassar, the former team doctor for U.S.A. Gymnastics who was sent to prison after being accused of sexually abusing scores of young female athletes. Yet the sheer scope of the lists, and the inconsistencies within them because of differing standards among the organizations, raise plenty of questions — not the least of which is whether an effort to collect and publish the names is even legal, given that until recently, people were disciplined by the governing bodies, each with its own brand of justice. There are also questions about transparency and whether individual sports are divulging all past offenders. www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/sports/olympics-sexual-misconduct-safesport.html

REALLY no need to "oversize" the above graphic. Pretty much EVERYONE (save for one CURRENT poster ('imagination', Magn0lia's new pseudonym, seems suspended)), is on the same page here, IMO.

Less that 4 days after one of the Strongest Power Leagues in the Midwest opened on AES, we have almost 300 teams from many of the top clubs in the area. So exciting to see all the work the WCPL Directors did to put this league together for your club. We are told many more will be signing up after they put their teams together. We will update the clubs as they come in. All the top teams from: 1st Alliance VBC 360 Sports Academy Adversity Celtic Force VBC Chicago Elite VBC Club 1 Club Fusion Eich's VBC Fierce Elite Ignite VBC Illinois Performance VBC Impulse IVVP Luminos Michio Chicago MVP VBC Prime Time VBC Sky High VBC Team ONE UNO Wildcat Juniors
Posted on the Great Lakes Region’s FB page 👍👏👏👍

Others can feel free to correct what I got wrong: The Great Lakes Power League (GLPL) has existed for many years. I don’t know how many weeks of play are included (at least 4?), but it is structured in a way that allows top teams to consistently play against other top teams, and lower teams to play against other lower teams. It is primarily run by the Butlers and Sports Performance and utilizes the Great Lakes Center (facility owned by the Butlers) among other sites, I believe. It served many of the top clubs in the Midwest (IL, WI, IN, IA, maybe more) so they could consistently play against the area’s top talent (college coaches also go where the talent goes). The Windy City Power League (WCPL) was its local “competitor” but poorly-run and poorly-organized by the Great Lakes Volleyball region (USAV region that exists in most of Northern IL), which led to most of the top clubs choosing to participate in the GLPL. Sounds like the WCPL has been re-vamped to provide a much better experience than it did previously, leading to more teams choosing the WCPL so that their money won’t go near the Butlers.

WCPL was a 2nd/3rd tier league in terms of quality teams as clubs chose to send their top teams to GLPL. It was NOT poorly organized/run by GLR. The power clubs did not like the 16 team round-robin multiple division league format for their teams. Back when GLPL started, those club directors knew about what happened at SPRI and chose to ignore it because they wanted to play top competition and get their players looked at. They had a choice of playing in Central Zones (which was a traveling league at multiple sites around the Midwest) or play GLPL at one/two sites.

Besides lower level competition, this is what doomed WCPL from being relevant until now. The link shows where the locations are and how you have no idea where you play next - good luck getting hotels if you are from outside the area. Ten locations which are 70 miles apart. "Over the course of the season it is possible that your team could play at any or all locations. During seeding, which is the first 3 dates, we will start by knowing the first locations and the remaining locations will be determined based on how you play the previous day." teamillinoisvbc.com/power-league-locations/

The 14 and under age groups for WCPL (run by the region) were very strong drawing the top teams from Sky High, Michio, Lions/1st Alliance, Uno, Rockford. In addition, Wisconsin Jrs. played their top teams in these age groups. SPVB, Milwaukee Sting, Fusion, Wildcats, did not play in the GLPL for these age groups.
At the 15+ age group, when recruiting begins for Open level players, most of the top clubs moved to GLPL (run by Sports performance) making the WCPL at these ages much less competitive.
While WCPL did not exist when my daughter played, I did coach a U12 team that played in WCPL for a few years and found it very well organized. That was several years ago and it could have gone down hill - I don't really know.

According to a recent AES search:
Butler/Great Lakes Power league has about 5 total teams signed up that are not Sports Performance.
Revamped Windy City has several hundred across all levels.

Do you think this has more to do with Rick being removed from JVA, AAU and USA Volleyball or people have no confidence in Cheryl being in charge without Rick? Or are people just finally believing what everyone has been saying since the 90's?
