im not sure. i know some players are already talking to/might be even signed by Grand Rapids at this point Maybe the top picks will be "drafted" I think it'll be the opposite. You don't attract top talent by telling them where they will play is TBD. And I believe this is what the PVF has stated in interviews. Veterans will be signed like free agents. There WILL be a draft for rookies coming out of college. |

Said draft will be 5 rounds in nov. For college players: veterans will be signed to contracts at a date to be announced after they release cities and hire coaches in 4 more cities. Carrying 14 players: 12 to season contract $60,000.00 and 2 to 12 month $100,000. Plus they can provide housing and transport but coaches made it apparent this will be by city. Both Atlanta coach and grad rapids coaches imploes the have verbal aggreements with multiple players |

does anyone know how the B1G got a partnership with volleyball world tv? I do want the game to be televised nationally, but i also think it'll be great for the league to have some matches on volleyball world TV. even just the playoffs.

I wish all these competing “pro” leagues would work together.
Sharing resources and ideas would/could be pivotal for all involved.

Having been a fan of Arena Football for many years, I can tell you that if anything gets on National TV, it'll be the playoffs. As I've said in the past, TV deals will depend on which markets get teams. From what I gather, ATL will be the only east coast team, so I suspect they will get A LOT of TV/mainstream streaming exposure. If Dallas ever gets announced, so will they. Columbus should be safe. If PVF gets in bed with Diamond (a scary thought, IMO) then GR will end up on Bally Detroit's second channel if we're lucky, but more likely we'll be on tape-delay if our games are scheduled opposite Red Wings and Pistons games. Same will probably happen to Omaha with Bally Midwest. VWtv and the new Bally Live app (which currently streams Minor League Baseball, Poker, and AVP and is not run by Diamond) are the most likely platforms if PVF can't get anything else done, but that's not going to grow the league, let alone the sport. |

Is ESPN+ not an option? If they have the “American Cornhole League”, you think they’d move ahead with an actual sport’s league. |

If they have the “American Cornhole League”, you think they’d move ahead with an actual sport’s league. Very possible. It's likely that there will be more than one network/service involved. ESPN keeps stating that their long-term plan is to not be on cable services anymore. I've stated that I feel PVF is very appealing to ESPN to grow their female audience... But, to be a broken record, a lot will depend on the markets that have teams. |

Yeah the markets will determine a lot. What do you think the odds are of there being a west coast team the first year? I see there’s still one TBA team on the front page and pretty much every announced/unconfirmed team is in the Midwest or the South. |

Confirmed: Atlanta Omaha Grand Rapids I'm so frustrated with market announcements right now that I'm ready for them to call it good at four teams and move forward. But, that's obviously not happening. According to the map someone got a shot of during the USWNT Open:  (credit avid 2.0 for originaly posting the image) there's a descent chance for a SoCal franchise. |
