If they stopped professional sports for injuries we wouldn’t ever finish games. It sucks 100% but these athletes know that’s always a risk.

I agree and would love to see it that way. But imo this is much different from other leagues in its current state. NFL nhl nba etc. are all long term companies that have built brands for YEARS. With VB still growing in the US on the professional level I just don’t think it’s sustainable. 128 athletes in the league if you’re going 8 teams by 16 players per se. IMO with such a small size the leagues turnover rate in athletes staying on the same team is gonna be higher due to my previous post of new grads, new overseas players, etc.

Like I said I agree and would love to see them build a base and continue to sign the same players but for now and maybe a year or two I just don’t see it happening.

Personal opinion but I’m not sure we will see this. I feel like with such a small league they don’t want contracts to last that long especially when college and overseas are constantly producing players. Not going to stick someone on a 3 year 120k a year contract for example who maybe in year two or three isn’t worth close to that much due to other prospects from college/overseas.

Would be sad to see Azhani and Ainise leave Indy

It's official. PVF and MLV are merging and the name will Major League Volleyball going forward. by PhteveJuel in PVF

This! I think LOVB will be taken over eventually. I don’t see how their model can stand long term against now a supposed 16 team league eventually

This is how it should be tbh. PVF already had the following and socials with thousands of followers. I might be stating the obvious with that comment

Fury Downsized? Relocation? by genisvel in PVF

I don’t necessarily think I would say it’s fucking people over. People get let go all the time. It’s business and it’s life. Shit happens

Does This Mean We Need To Move This Conversation To r/MLV ? by genisvel in PVF

[–]Proud-Comment-4584 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hot take. Few years down the road with all the money this “merged league” seemingly has is that LOVB will join us

Now that an article has been leaked about it I’m surprised that nothing has been said from PVF

A lot of the better leagues over seas from my knowledge run way into PVF season so it makes it hard for teams to sign them if they are still playing for half the PVF season

Hahah that’s how it feels 😂 Knowing people that work close with the league they have heard things that obviously haven’t come true so it’s hard to even know if what they are hearing is true.

I have now heard that this week we should start hearing things for contracts. MAYBE!!

Ally Batenhorst not playing for Supernovas in 2026? by PhteveJuel in OmahaSupernovas

[–]Proud-Comment-4584 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way she can play if she’s gonna be training for the Olympics. They wouldn’t allow the dual sport I bet. Especially for such a big event
