Hana Lishman would seem like a fit for San Diego... She's from? or just lives in California. Willow would have an Oregon connection with Tayyiba and August. Tara and Regan are both good middles that San Diego and Orlando should be fighting over... Also, I dont think we're getting 8 teams... I think we're gonna start with 6 (which is totally fine) I agree, six is a great place to start with the markets that are currently official. It's enough for flavor and matchups that won't feel too overbearingly repetitive. Do we know which franchise or more are stalled? Avid, are there any other potential international transfers of interest to PVF for the teams that aren't maxed out with their two? Dallas and then the mystery eighth afaik (was said to be Indy but also somewhere out west) idk. They should be all over the players playing in China. (they only play until january)... there's also the intl players in AU (Nootsara Tomkom, Maria Schlegel) Maria has US citizenship so she might not even country as a foreigner.

I think we're gonna start with 6 (which is totally fine) I'm fine with 6, but if they aren't getting the7th, they need to get the venues and schedule out ASAP. It's vital for advertising and ticket sales. I think, like you or another poster mentioned, that early August will be explosive with announcements answering these questions from some of the currently quiet teams. What are the chances of volleyball world streaming? I believe AU is for certain heavy, if not explicitly, on ESPN channels. I have a good feeling PVF will be there too.

Good point, I'd loveeeeeeee Nootsara somewhere, maybe San Diego.

I think VBtv will definitely stream games, I just don't know if it'll be stateside. That depends on what other stream/TV deals they land.
If ESPN's motivation to get AU to move their season was the PVF, I'll be elated.
I'd be surprised if NBC/Peacock isn't interested. They pay way too much to carry the Olympics. Anything they can do to make fans of Olympians, they'll do.

They dont carry any of the national team matches.

Standouts for me from these are Gabby, Willow, Erin, Molly, and Deja. Teams definitely have to be interested, wonder if they are. Maybe Bruns. Do you think like Aury and Lindsay would do full seasons, longer than AU? Have they recently played overseas? Just asking because I don't know a whole lot about them. Also, is all of Team Omaha playing AU, seems like it.

Also, is all of Team Omaha playing AU, seems like it. Taylor has stuff going on in Sweden so she might play there. I dont think Alisha would play. I dont think Deja would either. Aury will probably play in Puerto Rico. Im not sure about Lindsay. Id like to see Molly play, but she does other work for AU and i dont know their calendar.

It's vital for advertising and ticket sales. My understanding is the 7th is coming on this year. I do not understand the delay in announcing it, though I’m sure there is. And the 8th is confirmed but won’t come on until year two.

Probably because in that post I listed Player Representatives in the first paragraph and everyone else I just threw in a list.

I hate to say this because I am #UnionStrong and stand with the writers and actors, but now might be an excellent time for NBC/Peacock to make a deal with PVF. The last writer's strike changed the landscape of network TV with a move toward cheaper "reality" based content. I'd much rather see networks air ANY sport than yet another talent show.
