OTOH, Cathy George is pullin out MSU players from 4-6 years ago like "Come play professionally!" so idk. There me be some kind of advice coming from the top. Garvelink is a bit of a stretch. Toliver "medically" retired... I think... but it wouldnt be the first time she quit a club overseas for a fake medical reason lol Garvelink was on IG and was like "oh there's a pro league?", texted cathy, and she was like "Oh yes middle blocker or libero? Take your pick" whatever happened to shhhhhhh? he was randomly the biggest toliver stan. |

Until Chaussee got there (I think she's their promotion player, maybe with Dimitrova too). that is random lol. she got banned from playing in italy for a minute because she left her team cause she didnt like them (blaming it on a family emergency that didnt happen) |

I can’t say I love the idea that the athletes don’t have agents to handle the legal details. There are some reasonably questionable decisions so far that would be legal red flags in a contract for me. I hope someone was advising the athletes with their best interests in mind (not directly tied to the management of the organizations).

Professional athletes do. In fact, our US athletes overseas who make less than that have agents. So not entirely sure what your point is. |

I think it’s a fair statement, though. How many college athletes have agents for NIL? For some of these younger players who haven’t gone overseas and haven’t needed the networking or handholding, they might not get an agent for PVL. I mean there’s a whole drama unfolding on Tik Tok about OTVA suing a player for breach of contract that she signed (without a parent present allegedly)when she was 15/16. |

PVF athletes could pay for agents if they want to. But that salary is so low, I struggle to see how it’s worth it in most cases. Europe is different because most Americans don’t have any connections over there and would really struggle to figure out how to make it work. |

I was reliably informed that the very savvy players retained agents who negotiated on their behalf and snagged them some guarantees, such as they cannot be cut.

I think this aspect is being overrated. These coaches want to WIN. They're going to sign and play the best athletes. Training camp bodies might be a different story because it's easier to sign somebody local. OTOH, Cathy George is pullin out MSU players from 4-6 years ago like "Come play professionally!" so idk. There me be some kind of advice coming from the top. OMG I would LOVE it if she got the gang back together again! Someone call Rachel Minarick. What's Brooke Kranda up to? Someone DM Megan Tompkins. Who has Abby Monson's email? SOMEBODY FACEBOOK MESSAGE AUTIMN BAILEY AND TELL HER IT'S HAPPENING! |
