So where is this league at right now? We don't even know the location for all of the teams yet, right? February 2024 is honestly not that far away.

Plus maybe ones in Dallas, Columbus, and Omaha that aren't announced or finalized. Announcing a 2024 start date without teams in place might be a #choice

So where is this league at right now? We don't even know the location for all of the teams yet, right? February 2024 is honestly not that far away. So far we have 1 official, unnamed team and 2-4 rumored teams. We have a few celebrity owners and 4 players who have no affiliation with a particular team, but one is related to one of those celebrity owners. According to this article all of the inaugural teams to play in Feb of 2024 will be announced by the end of next month. One article mentioned a draft in November, but that was in passing with no details. Am I missing anything?

Any updates on the finances for the league? Is there really money available for the league to last more than one season?

I realized this is probably going to take place during the same time as the Puerto Rico league. I wonder if this league could pull some of the top Puerto Rican players away, like Valentin. I remember someone saying she lives in the states?
Has the league established any rules on foreigners joining the league?

They can't match the money that PVF can (or supposedly has). The new NCAA kids might actually take the draft offers (instead of going overseas) I think the top PR players might jump on it... especially if they aren't overseas and can earn more here (without having to mess with visas and stuff) international players will be interesting (Nothing has been announced)... just cause of the logistical stuff behind it. (idk how easy it is for visas/green cards or whatever they need)

(idk how easy it is for visas/green cards or whatever they need) Bingo. As soon as there is capital to sign legitimate deals that would keep our kids here, and attract other names that may take up the opportunity to live in the states and perhaps get a quick pay bump than they otherwise would have gotten, you may start to see even more money coming in from sponsors/investors to keep those players and command more of a viewing demand. I imagine the work visa/green card issues would be similar to any of our domestics kids going to play elsewhere, but that honestly is just a guess and someone definitely is in the know better than I.

In DeVos' case, he has the ability to absorb some loss for a few years as long as he sees there's potential (he floated his Arena League team for a decade). Media deals and ad revenue will be key.

So where do these games get played? Because i think the construction of a true volleyball sports arena would be the main thing to really show the sport is being taken seriously.

The one announced team is being played in a multi-sport arena. I'm assuming they'll all be played in hockey, basketball and multipurpose arenas. In Grand Rapids the Van Andel will be a step up from the now closed DeltaPlex that the USPVL Force played in.

I thought Morgan Hentz was with AU. I wonder if she is planning to switch after the 2023 season or juggle both.
