Wait, how is heading up a new pro league going to be less time away from his family than college volleyball… won’t have to go on recruiting trips from Feb-July almost every weekend Exactly. In-season will still be busy, but the other 8 months of the year it'll be a 9-5 job.

That’s the other part, the enormous gamble.

That’s the other part, the enormous gamble. IDK how much of a gamble it is. Let's say the league flops, he's back on the market in a year and probably has a good shot at getting a decent job? Probably a better shot than if he stayed at UCF and had a poor transition to being in a power conference (UCF in the Big XII will struggle, and this was probably the worst year to do it losing Melville + 5-1 setter and #2 attacker)

"Hey Kids, would you like to leave your school, your friends, and Universal and Disney." No, why? "We are moving to Atlanta so you can spend more time with your Dad!" NO!!! WHY?!?!

Guess I'm the only one wary of such of move. WHy...makes a good salary for 3-5 years. If team goes bust, he will be able to scope the landscape and walk into another college job..now with pro experience. Lasts longer and goes bust...can ease into retirement or club executive.

You really think it will last 3-5 years. I love the optimism

VT never ceases to amaze. Disparaging a coach by making up a fictional conversation with their kids, classy.
