Some questions, which is pretty simple and fundamental, yet I still don't have a clear answer. - Is it a pro league or is it a big business that owns clubs?
- Which part of the business takes precedence?
- What does win-win look like at LOVB?
- What is the business model? Leverage club fees to pay the pro athletes?
- How much are they paying as compared to the Professional Volleyball folks?
- What does the initial season look like? Does anyone know? Does the LOVB know?
- Which league will the in country talent go?
- Will the dispersion of top players kill all three leagues?
- I doubt this will keep the talent from going overseas to play. Prove to me I am wrong.

Will the dispersion of top players kill all three leagues? This. To generate sustained interest in the league, you need to have a good product. Let's be honest, without some level of association with some of the universities in the NCAA, bad volleyball just isn't that fun to watch.

What if all 3 leagues happened during different parts of the year? Could they play in all 3 like a part time/seasonal job? Would require a little cooperation and planning.

Why do I get the feeling this enterprise will just crash and burn?

If this league is starting after the ‘24 Olympics, and is committed to provide paid maternity leave and related child care for its players, I’m just wondering how long after you sign your contract do those benefits kick in? Just asking for a half dozen players I know….

AU is moving to fall and the Pro Fed will be in Feb/March. In theory, a player could do both … making that seem appealing.

Why do I get the feeling this enterprise will just crash and burn? Because history repeats itself and no one seems to learn from the others mistakes. Egos, Greed, and Credit Wanted drive these failures.

But im not 100% sure... there is nothing out about their league lol Quote directly from the Volleyballmag article: “six teams, in six different cities across the country. The inaugural season will begin with a pre-season in November 2024, and then will move onto the main season starting in January and concluding in April 2025.”
