I wonder how long until LOVB or PVF write in contracts that you can't play outside their league I think LOVB and PVF see AU existing as a benefit to their leagues. I agree. I think LOVB/PVF benefit from AU as participating players are training and competing for seven weeks against other high-level professionals in the fall. They also can get a paycheck which can help subsidize the contracts and help match what players can get in Europe/Brazil/etc. Players also are promoted, so cross promotion can only bring more eyes on the sport, leagues and the athletes. But it is also nice athletes have a break after AU before their next season to recharge. AU certainly benefits from so many players being available and also with the cross-promotion. We need as many eyes on these volleyball leagues (Live/TV/Streams) as we can get to keep these opportunities for players and so we as fans can watch them compete stateside. |

AU dropped their roster, idk if this was intended.  Wait this eats down… with all the now domestic talent I’m surprised we’re seeing Noma again and Bruns. Which top 4 setter from season 2 will Bugg unseat? Probably Hilley I agree with you but ultimately you are going to have some players that don't get much time and you are better off going with those who bring the positive energy and are good teammates... Those two have been with AU from the start... Looking forward to the season!!! |

she did a recent road trip to new orleans/baton rouge so that makes sense now...hope she continues to enjoy that heat in the south (like in austin except more swampy)...the food & culture are great though |

Looking forward to it! Should be a fun season. I’ll be there in Phoenix “facilitating” again this season after missing it last year.

Just checked the schedule page on their website. They haven't posted what ESPN channels the matches will be on yet, however, the following players will captain these colors in week 1:
Gold: Nuneviller
Blue: Hentz
Orange: Valentin-Anderson
Purple: De La Cruz

According to Hulu, it looks like most of the AU matches will be on ESPN+ and ESPNU, but I don't see the first two matches on the schedule yet.
