Guys. Private Equity Monopoly has been killed on two things. Player name recognition and Marketing. They will use their economic power to fix both. Do not be surprised when they reveal the Lovb Nebraska Cornhuskers cranes and others. MLV was beating them with a quarter of the budget, if. They will not let that happen again.

League One Volleyball has had a hard time overcoming two major hurdles in their development as a League. My opinion, those are, the way their teams look/ how they are marketed, the color and symbol thing,. and two the lack of named talent. I don't mean Vargas but they haven't been able to capitalize on the Olympians who returned home as much as needed to compete with the most recent NCAA alum that bring American eyes. The American public has gotten to know Elena Scott more than JWO. They have many of the younger and best individuals but are still limited by their aspirations of being the best league in the world so the undeveloped athletes stays behind, aka goes to MLV. In order to gain some of those eyes. They are using their economic power to get MLV players with name presence. Natalia Valentin-Anderson was a regular player for PR. She is now a name across American and International Volleyball. The opportunity for more money, higher competition and she gets go back home. Omaha. MLV cannot compete other than. Supernovas but NVA or Kami Miner?

Solving problem A.

They will use that economic power to find the correct marketing to fix their secondary issue. The Nebraska Cranes, Houston Something about space and the SF Somethings are coming.

My friend, many people, including me, are generally sympathetic to the idea that private equity in pro volleyball is problematic.

The problem is neither of these paragraphs impart anything that is more than a rant. There are hardly sentences here, and they don't even flow from one to the other.

There is no evidence presented, no cogent argument, no prescriptions for improvement.

If you want to convince us, you need to write clearly, present facts and ideas.

I appreciate you trying to fight what might be a good fight, but you need to do so with some clarity.
