www.wowt.com/2023/07/13/nebraska-pro-volleyball-announces-home-court-president/This article mentions that there are plans to release team name next week. WOWT also had an earlier article today stating that Creighton's Coach Boothe, who spoke at the press conference to the titanic meaning of women's pro volleyball in Omaha, was going to be the head coach of Omaha PVF...so I take their news with caution lol

PVF Curious... I just started getting PVF Nebraska pop-ups on my Instagram and was wondering a little bit more about the league. Have they joined the FIVB federation? Is the salary structure going to be sufficient for them to compete with the best teams in Europe and maybe become part of the club world championship series.
That series is kind of an orphan of the professional leagues because the conflict with the national team seasons mean that the series is not played after the actual season but the upcoming season which means there's changes in team personnel. In the best of all volleyball worlds the club world championship series would come immediately after the pro season and right before the start of the national team season.
If PVF can become NBA style with larger competitive salaries equal to those of Europe then I think there would be some excellent competition between the top European pro teams and the top US pro teams.

jay, Nothing about PVF "joining" FIVB. LOVB seems to have more affiliation with FIVB than PVF, but PVF is following FIVB guidelines and has done some promo work for FIVB (I have not seen FIVB do any promo work for PVF. They've had plenty of opportunity during the VNL streams). Salaries are being kept at between $60k(+room & board) to $100k so far, but, there's plenty of bonus opportunities, including winning bonuses, the championship team splitting $1m between players, MVP bonuses, etc. Players are also able to play for AU and for National Teams in the off-season. All-in-all a player could make similar bank to, say, someone in the French leagues. The PVF owners' goal is to be able to enter into open negotiations with players by the third year, but that will depend on success of the league. As for inter-league club play, I hear that there's been discussion within PVF about it, but I don't know if the PVF owners would be interested if they don't see any profits in return.

If PVF can become NBA style with larger competitive salaries equal to those of Europe then I think there would be some excellent competition between the top European pro teams and the top US pro teams. The PVF would never really have direct contact with the FIVB. The hierarchy is the IOC, the FIVB, the continental confederation (e.g. NORCECA, CEV) and then the national federations (e.g. USAV). The Champions League is conducted under the auspices of the CEV, and the national Pro Leagues operate under or in coordination with the respective national federation. The FIVB operates the Club World Championships because it involves clubs from pro leagues across different countries and continental confederations. In order for a PVF team to ever compete in the Club Championships, they would have to align themselves in some way with USAV and/or NORCECA, neither of which has happened (LOVB also has no formal affiliation, although they seem to be networking and cultivating relationships with USAV and others intentionally).
