San Diego Mojo pro volleyball says farewell, for now

The San Diego Mojo's final season ended last week at the semifinals of the Major League Volleyball (MLV) Championship.

Catch up quick: The team was one of the league's original franchises, but after three seasons, the Mojo won't return to the league next year.

• Owner Gary Jacobs said in a statement last month that in lieu of playing, the Mojo wanted to use the 2027 season to build a long-term plan for the franchise, but the league is looking at potential new investors for a San Diego club instead.

What we're watching: MLV is expanding to 12 teams nationwide next season, and said it's "exploring strategies" for the San Diego market.
