Hosts Amie Just and Erin Sorensen hit the ground running and covered a lot of volleyball on opening weekend. Literally.

Between Arlington, Las Vegas and Sioux Falls, we saw 10 preseason Top 25 teams in person, including Nebraska, Texas, SMU, Florida, Penn State, Creighton, Arizona State, USC, Minnesota and TCU.

They compare notes on what stood out, why Creighton looked so different from Saturday to Sunday, what Nebraska showed against Texas and which teams they're still trying to figure out. Amie also breaks down what worked — and what didn't — at Spikes Under the Lights before sharing her conversation with three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings.

Plus, a listener question about NIL, revenue sharing and what college volleyball's changing financial landscape could mean for programs without mega-revenue athletic departments.

And with another huge weekend ahead, Erin and Amie look toward Chicago, where Penn State, Kentucky, Nebraska and Missouri will take over Wrigley Field.

In our first episode, Erin and Amie talk through the first weekend of the season, discuss what intrigues them moving forward, and share their hopes for what this show can bring to the rapidly growing volleyball world.
