2025 recruiting class NIL Collective promises are no longer valid based on this new rule.

This rule goes into effect January 25, you better go where you really want to play football. Cause no one knows what the revenue split will be.

So if you picked a school based on Collective money guarantees, things are about to change.

For those who are starting club… club volleyball is NOT equivalent to college volleyball… do NOT let the directors gas light you to think it is… setters need to use their middles and diving on the floor without an in system dig is not good.

Apple AirTags: A Lifesaver for Our Vacation Amidst Disappointing Airline Customer Service
It has become commonplace to see on social media and news outlets a stream of grievances regarding recurring airline problems. From frustrating delays and cancellations to the distressing issue of lost luggage, coupled with a noticeable decline in customer service, these concerns flood our screens daily. However, it is often easy to scroll past such complaints without fully grasping their impact—until the unfortunate experience becomes our own.

Like many others, we decided to do a big trip for our 25th wedding anniversary. After months of planning a 10-day trip across Spain, the day was finally here. On Friday, July 7, we were scheduled to fly from Dallas to Philadelphia, and then continue to Barcelona. However, due to a maintenance issue on the plane, the flight was canceled, asked to exit the plane, causing us to not arrive in time for our connecting flight. We were rebooked on an American flight to Amsterdam, connecting with an Iberia flight to Barcelona. At the American customer service desk, we were promised seamless luggage handling and loyalty miles for all legs of the trip, but the reality was quite different.

Upon arriving in Amsterdam, we discovered that the Iberia flight was a Vueling flight. This information came as a surprise to us, as it was not communicated during the rebooking process. At no point were we informed that we would be rebooked on a budget airline for the final leg of our journey. Subsequently, our luggage went astray. We had Apple Air Tags on both bags and my bag was tracking still in Dallas and my husband's in Amsterdam. We tried to file with the Iberia desk, as there was no American Airlines desk, and they told us we had to go to Vueling. Vueling was no help and told us to scan a QR code and file a lost luggage claim online. Frustrated, we did so and left the airport with only the backpacks we carried on to the flight.

Despite multiple attempts to contact American Executive Platinum customer service, we were left without any assistance or updates on our luggage situation. We were told due to an international agreement between airlines that American Airlines is not responsible, and the last airline flown on international flights was responsible for luggage issues. Over the next 3 days, we still had not received our luggage or any updates. Over the course of these three days, I called Vueling Airlines over 6 times to give them updates on where the luggage was tracking to try to expedite the situation. American Airlines still refused to help, leaving us in a frustrating loop of unresponsiveness.

My bag traveled via American Airlines to London Heathrow and then from London Heathrow on a British Airways flight to Barcelona. My husband’s bag eventually went from Amsterdam to Barcelona. Vueling Airlines never touched my bag. American Airlines never offered updates, instead, I was continuously reloading the tracking on the Apple AirTags to see the bags’ location.

We spent 3 days in Barcelona with one change of clothes that we put in our backpacks. Without any clear direction on how expenses would be covered until our bags were returned, we only bought one dress, a pair of tennis shoes, and socks. Our hotel helped supply us with toiletries. Sadly, our time in this amazing city was damped by the issues we were facing.

On Monday, July 10, we were set to fly to a different city in Spain. At this time, our bags Apple Air Tags showed both bags to be at the Barcelona airport. We went to the airport over 4 hours early before our outgoing flight to try and locate the luggage ourselves as we still had not received any information nor any updates on our bags.

Upon arriving at the airport, we were told by Vueling that our bags were not in their system and that we needed to go back to the Iberia desk and talk to them. We were also told that we could go look at the baggage claim carousels because there were hundreds of bags left on them, stacked nearby and throughout the baggage claim area.  I walked around the carousels frantically looking, while my husband waited in the over one-hour Iberia line.  I luckily found his bag still going around the carousel after more than one day.  My bag was still missing. Over an hour later, after using the Apple Air Tag tracking, my bag was found in a back room behind the Iberia desk.  Without the Air Tags and hours of effort on our vacation looking and calling, we would not have had bags for our entire trip.

My bag, which was recently gifted to me for this trip, was severely damaged and took a significant amount of effort to retrieve. Moreover, we did not receive the promised loyalty miles for the Amsterdam to Barcelona leg of our journey. I have been unable to process the damaged luggage claim, as well as the few receipts for while the luggage was missing because Vueling does not have any record of our bags in their system. American Airlines has washed their hands of us and the situation, even after just asking for assistance in filing with Vueling Airlines. We never received our loyalty points nor does anyone at the company want to take responsibility, even though this situation all started with the cancellation of our flight due to maintenance issues.

In light of our experience, I offer two pieces of advice. Firstly, invest in Apple AirTags for your luggage, as these nifty devices can prove invaluable even if you intend to carry your bags onto the plane. There’s a multitude of stories attesting to their role in salvaging travel plans. Secondly, exercise caution while considering rebooking arrangements, especially for international flights. Keep in mind that the airline you initially assume you’re flying with might differ from the actual carrier.

Luggage may go astray, flights can be canceled, and setbacks are bound to occur. However, it’s the way airlines respond to such situations that truly counts. With my husband being a multiyear Executive Platinum holder, we’re all too familiar with American Airlines’ repeated assertion: “In a world full of choices, thank you for choosing American Airlines.” Perhaps it’s time to begin considering alternative options. #AmericanAirlines #customerservice #lostbaggage #AppleAirTag @AmericanAir @CNN @FoxNews @wfaa @dallasnews @Apple

@VivMParker @LindsayShondell @usavolleyball @jrvbassociation To solve this- colleges need to recruit from high school teams… $$$ it’s too expensive and the sport season is too long!

[Dr. Tarol Page Clements @ClementsTarol]

@torresfam2010 @LindsayShondell @KevAdVBall @usavolleyball @jrvbassociation Yes!!!!

[Dr. Tarol Page Clements @ClementsTarol]

@LindsayShondell @usavolleyball @jrvbassociation I agree! Girls should be able to enjoy their school sports and be multi sports athletes. Never should club be longer than a college season. Too many girls burn out. I hope rules are passed- club should end in April for all tournaments.
