Six teams are signed... the other two are not set (eyeroll lol)
Omaha won't announce their arena... (And they dont want other details leaked about the league)
Says San Diego has players lined up. Orlando is getting to work. Both teams are looking to add two international players (two is the limit.. lame)
Shelton is working hard on getting to know Omaha/learn Nebraska/etc.
Each franchise is making decisions about what they want to do for coaching staffs. Shelton wants a group of 3-4 people.
Most of Omaha will play AU.
League will have a certain starting date for all of the teams. Cant go before that.
College draft will be in November (weird..).. Teams will get 2 NCAA players + 14 signed players.
Shelton wants to bring the NCAA-style coach-player relationship to the pro setting.
Omaha is getting a President of Volleyball (idk what that means).. gonna announce team name/branding soon.
Video replay is going to be required. They're going to get a "sophisticated system"... pls be dataproject.
They are taking player workload into consideration for the playoffs. They're determining what the best format is.
Hybrid NCAA/FIVB rules. Coaches have strong opinions (about intl rules and the ball)... Someone suggested (90% sure this was Angel Perez) they get involved with the FIVB Club World championships. PVF wants to evaluate how they can increase opportunities for the players.

Not crazy NCAA sub rules where you can DS your entire pin trio, but one DS would be cool. Tons of libero talent, defense makes the game more enjoyable to watch which I think is important for it to work in the US.

That was pretty much her role in PR when their hitters returned. Rollins to Columbus? Sksksksksk

I think using the Mikasa ball is important. Rules are meh as long as it’s not more than 12 subs

I wish it was 3 foreign players... that would help bridge the gap between the early teams (Atlanta/Grand Rapids) and the rest.

Someone suggested (90% sure this was Angel Perez) they get involved with the FIVB Club World championships. I would LOVE to see this! I think there was an American team that played at the CWCh a while back. I don't think it was made up of active professional players though, but I don't remember.
