On Episode 25 of Set 6, Sevrin Lavenstein and Jenna Rosenthal react to the LA Thunder’s name, logo and colors before breaking down Major League Volleyball’s marquee player exception. How does it work? What does it mean for the salary cap? And how could it help teams attract and retain top college and international talent?
Plus, we open the fan mailbag to talk player salaries, the college-to-pro pipeline and why making volleyball easier to watch is essential to growing the game. We also celebrate Indy sIgnite head coach Lauren Bertolacci’s milestone with the Swiss national team—and take a detour to San Diego for a memorable meeting with Top Gear’s James May.
