I think its something to note.. There is NOT three leagues in the states thus far... AU is NOT A LEAGUE. And in all reality, PVF is the only coming league that is showing us true promise and outlook onto the success it will have. They are getting players fresh out of college, still in the professional game and killing it. They've truly swooped in, took what LOVB had been fettering with and has the clear lead. For something to truly succeed, I think we need ONE LEAGUE. It will all dilute too much and I think LOVB needs to cut their losses NOW and hop on with PVF. I think the problem with that is LOVB is going to hold the brand power... They're scooping the NT players up. Can PVF take some of that? Maybe... but that depends on who they can nab (either from the NCAA or overseas) and the TV contract. Neither LOVB or PVF are going to have any incentives to quit/merge, unless it goes south.

the podcast is not a ton of new info.
Collier says the owners know its not going to be profitable for awhile.
24 match season. with 4 team playoff.
Omaha people are working on the team name.
They're gonna use College of St Mary's facilities for practices.
Team is providing apartments.
Connecting with Renee Saunders (and KBB) to help get the Omaha people involved.

Ouch. Pettit said "Hopefully 8-10 teams". Is there a chance we'll stand pat at 6 for the first season?

15:20 Gina goes into her experiences overseas. Too bad she doesn't talk about which leagues had more challenging living conditions.

Gina talking about the fan base in Omaha - i hope they brand something along the lines of Omaha Loyal, Omaha Allegiant, or Omaha Harmony and really pay homage to the personality of the state. neb fans rooting for dbk I think captures how loyal Nebraska is to its kind.

i feel like SD makes the most sense if she wants to tinker with sand and still make some money. plus Riley's AVP projects.

I take it no one had the chance to watch the Kerri Walsh/Jenna Rosenthal interview?

Well, poop.
Cecile Reynaud just liked one of my Twitter posts:
I guess that's confirmation Kerri didn't misspeak and reasoning that Petit said "Hopefully" in his podcast.
Now, who had to delay or fold? Texas or Indy/Vegas/Arizona?
