So, supposedly, the name of the team is the Geographic moniker and the branding is the "nickname". So, "Grand Rapids" would be formally correct if everyone knows you're talking volleyball. But "Rise" is acceptable in casual conversation (which is 99.999% of sports talk). "G.R." is also acceptable because it's how locals often refer to the city. This logic doesn't always work in some markets, though. If talking baseball in New York or Chicago, you would have to say the entire team name if your being formal, due to there being more than one team in the city, and nicknames for casual conversation. It's also not unusual to use airport codes in casual written correspondence. And, as far as I can find, those are the only Instagram accounts so far.

During this interview with Dagenais, we have some new insight on what the league is looking for in ownership:
The conversation about the league starts at 21:18
22:00 The 8 first year teams were selected from over 20 bids and were weeded out using certain criteria that he lists.
23:13 "This league is going to be no joke"
23:58 A lot of the players are playing in the VNL and NT right now. So they'll be announced later.

It's interesting that he talks about AU being complimentary, and not a competitor.

It's interesting that he talks about AU being complimentary, and not a competitor. Because of the scheduling and format differences, they really aren't competitors (at least now).
