Here's a NPR story about the league that talks about it's chances at gaining a space in the public's conciousness. The only thing is they say that the Rise is the only team with branding. Kinda funny because, in reality, branding was the one thing the Rise wasn't first with. Columbus announced their name and logo 3 or 4 days before Grand Rapids.

There are multiple pro teams in Europe, including the Italian Superlega, the German Volleyball Bundesliga, the Polish PlusLiga and the Russian Volleyball Super League Using the men’s league names (Italy and Poland specifically) in a women’s sports article…. Lol

Says Orlando is still exploring venues
Omaha has their venue.
Would be nice to get Omaha and Atlanta's identity when they announce players next week/soon

If the PVL gets 1/4 of the publicity and media as the WNBA, it will succeed. I did a unpublished researched article on why this type of pro volleyball would be more successful than the WNBA for smart media attention but here is the first reason. "One sport/two gender dilemma. My thought is that sports that have a closer gender participation rate, like basketball and soccer, wind up with this scenario. The male side, because of the chauvinistic tendencies or the higher athletic prowess...will tend overwhelmingly to stick with the male side of those pro leagues. While the female viewing audience is diluted, Because some will watch a female league to support their gender league but many will stick with the male gender league because of the quality and higher athletics. It's no disrespect towards women athletes or viewers. It's just natural to stick with the established higher end product they know if it's just a choice between gender versions of the same sport...Now in the case of indoor volleyball, although there is a growth movement for NCAA mens VB, it is light years behind the women's side. Just look at the sheer lower number of men's NCAA VB teams, and what their coaches are paid compared to the women's side. Volleyball on the women's side benefits from its uniqueness in participation and the funding it receives as long as football is there. Imagine if that kind of funding, and promotion came from a ESPN, CBS or Fox sports network for a nationwide pro womens VB league. There's no delusion of female viewers because there is no domestic male pro league like basketball or soccer."

Damn, I'm not seeing anything in the Columbus market about the coach hiring.

Wish BTN would have sold the rights to ESPN. Both ESPN and ESPN2 had a documentary event on and this have got greater ratings and PR for WVB than a more regional BTN could provide.
