    I know the Omaha PVF team that gets pretty good attendance is gonna leave for another start up league, but as of now which league has better players? PVF or LOVB?

    Was at bar and saw PVF on CBSSN and then LOVB on ESPN2, and the presentation of PVF seemed a lot better.

    PVF rosters as a whole are more familiar to a US audience, currently. Their TV/streaming rights package makes it easier for more people to watch their games. They market their teams much better and in a far more familiar way to US sports fans.

    PVF has done so much right but it is an enormous blow at this point that their most successful organization is leaving after just 2 years. There will be so many changes though to any/all pro volleyball leagues in the US until it gets to the point where there's a merger. Hopefully that comes sooner rather than later. Lots of big money starting to come into the sport. Need all of that momentum to be behind one unified league, then it'll get serious

    My newly created club team went 1-2 in their first tournament (should have went 2-1 but choked). Do I care? Absolutely not. Girls had fun, got good game experience against good talent… and it’s dirt cheap with almost no travel required. The ultimate club experience imo.

    No kidding. The only home game worth getting excited for in conference is PSU.

    Illinois, Ohio St., and Washington could have good or bad squads. The rest of the teams we'll play at home will likely be the bottom of the conference teams.

    Even though they are historically great, I mean Purdue and Minnesota could be pretty mediocre this year

    The lady Husks sand vball squad landed in Hawaii for their annual trip out there. This trip always produces some interesting pics game results so be on the lookout over the next week.
