The public is also weighing in. SPVB National Junior Classic 2018 Number of Team 268 total teams 2019 Number of Teams *42 * Numbers as of May 5, 2019 I wonder how many of those 42 teams are SPRI teams? Just tried to check AES and see who's signed up and it looks like that list is not viewable... Updated numbers as of 5/19/2019* 2019 Number of Teams *67 which in only a reductions of 201 teams vs last year. 15 C 16 15/16 P 14 16 C 14 18/17 C 9 18/17 P 14 2019 Total* 67 (5 Divisions) 15 C 44 15 O 22 15 P 15 16 C 37 16 O 26 16 P 20 17 C 16 17 O 19 17 P 26 18 C 26 18 O 17 2018 Total 268 (11 Divisions)

From 2018: chicago.suntimes.com/2018/5/30/18315953/walt-disney-resorts-bans-controversial-volleyball-coach-rick-butlerFrom the opening paragraph: Walt Disney World Resorts, which hosts the Amateur Athletic Union’s national volleyball tournament, said on Wednesday that west suburban coach Rick Butler is “no longer welcome” on its property. I believe that's a nice way of saying you've been banned permanently from Walt Disney property.

If I do, I can promise I will be finding out if the ban is still in effect!

I am not familiar enough with historical internal structure of SPRI to say if this type of team structure change means anything... They are introducing "GLC Elite" program. Cheryl is not listed as being involved at all in this new program. I find it curious that after the dramatic change in GLPL structure for 2019 season and massive drop in attendance to all SPRI sponsored events since the Mullens lawsuit was filed, that they are creating a new program that does not associate itself with SPRI name or have Cheryl listed as involved in anyway. greatlakescenter.com/glc-elite/I bring this up as it seems to me to be an effort for the Butlers to supplement their income that is being lost by the volleyball community boycott of all things SPRI. Until Rick and Cheryl remove themselves from the club entirely (including ownership stake), I feel it is imperative the VB community continues to speak by sending the dollars elsewhere. And while you're at it, tell your high school to find other summer league locations, there are plenty!

Please report him to Volleytalk. Please take photos if you see him. Yes, ^this^! The processes unfolding within these courthouses -- both this class-action civil suit; and the ongoing admissions scandal case -- are lightyears beyond any "influence" of 'blasting' reports to an anonymous message board: vendettas against an indicted, disgraced AAD at one's former Homer U. notwithstanding. YES, take pics (evidence) if RB's in-the-house. THAT kind of irrefutable documentation, when presented to authoritative bodies (who can't hide from it), will do wonders!

Looks like that’s just an amended Motion for Sanctions. Still no ruling from the court. Any indication on when a ruling may be forthcoming from the court? Looks like transcripts from previous hearing dates will be coming available next week. Those are usually interesting reads.
