Updates (according to an agent) One Million dollar prize for the champion (to be split amongst the roster) 2 foreigners, Puerto Ricans will count as locals. I think athletes that played NCAA volleyball should also be exempt. American fans would be just as interested in those athletes. They wouldn't be exempt from transfer fees, however. I don't know what the arrangement that's been worked out between the USA and PR Federations--and with the PVF, is, but the PR Federation decision to allow its athletes to count as locals (not clear if it's with or without transfer fees) could potentially destablize their own league.

Forgive me if it's been mentioned previously, but has there been discussion about how the league will be televised/streamed? I'm curious about how they plan to draw enough fans to keep the teams solvent. AVP, for example, has made huge messes in publicity/broadcasting instead of seizing opportunities to grow the beach fan base.
I'm really hoping that this will be different.

Some interesting info and details about Pérez's deal (Ohio) in the PR press
-He had verbally accepted the position before the local tournament was over, but kept it a secret for obvious reasons -First two years of his contract are guaranteed, making a six-figure salary -Dilfer and Stone were instrumental in getting Gigler to consider Pérez for the position -Pérez suggests that the best move for the PR league is to start its season after October 15

AVP, for example, has made huge messes in publicity/broadcasting instead of seizing opportunities to grow the beach fan base. I'm really hoping that this will be different. From what I've pieced together from a couple of interviews it sounds like they have/had tentative agreements with a couple of national networks for games of the week, a RSN (considering the markets, I'm afraid it's probably Bally), and a "established streaming partner". These interviews are from a while back. I'm sure the teams' markets where a factor, and the team announcements kept getting pushed back, so I wouldn't be surprised if any of these fell through. If they are still "in" my guesses are: NBC/Peacock (synergy w/ Olympics) ESPN/+ (maybe ABC during playoffs) for the female demographic and Bally.

Pettit calls it the "Omaha Real Pro Women's Volleyball team" This "REAL" pro volleyball push is giving me "Do you know who I am??" vibes.
Then, he hires a coach who's been coaching D2 for 20 years. lmao

I know many excellent coaches that don't coach D1 because unfortunately the "coaching role" is seldom what you do most.
