“SHE IS A DEVIL!” The entire American college volleyball community is shaken by SETTER STAR BERGEN REILLY’S UNEXPECTED “EXPLOSION” ACCUSING THE CURRENT COACH OF EMBEZZLING SPONSORSHIP MONEY. “I’ve been silent for too long out of respect for the team and because I thought everything would be resolved internally.
But today, I can’t continue anymore.” Reilly also revealed more “dark secrets” that shocked the volleyball world… Immediately afterward, the AVCA (American Coaches Association) issued a statement that shocked the entire NACC community, leaving coach Dani Busboom Kelly so stunned he couldn’t say anything more!
The American college volleyball world woke up in shock after star setter Bergen Reilly released a stunning public statement accusing the current head coach of Nebraska Volleyball, Dani Busboom Kelly, of serious misconduct.
Within hours, the allegations spread across social media, fan forums, and sports newsrooms nationwide, triggering an immediate response from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and sending tremors through the NCAA community.
Reilly, widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in U.S. collegiate volleyball, broke her silence with a message that was both emotional and accusatory. “I’ve been silent for too long out of respect for the team and because I thought everything would be resolved internally,” she wrote.
“But today, I can’t continue any longer.” Her words marked a dramatic turning point in what she described as months—if not years—of unresolved internal conflict.
At the center of Reilly’s claims are allegations of financial misconduct involving sponsorship and NIL-related funds connected to the Nebraska Volleyball program.
According to Reilly, significant portions of money from major sponsors—funds she says were intended to improve player nutrition, training equipment, medical care, and personal NIL support—were allegedly diverted elsewhere.
She claims that instead of being fairly allocated, only a small fraction reached the players, even during periods when the team was enjoying peak competitive success.
Reilly further alleged that some of the money was used for what she described as the coach’s “personal projects,” including private travel expenses, office upgrades, and opaque bonus-like payments to close assistants.
It is important to note that these claims remain allegations and have not been independently verified at the time of writing.
Beyond financial concerns, Reilly’s statement also detailed what she characterized as systemic discrimination within the team. She alleged that players perceived as being “close” to the coaching staff were given priority in starting positions, playing time, and access to NIL opportunities.
According to Reilly, some athletes were even “encouraged” to sign private endorsement deals with brands allegedly recommended by the coach, arrangements she claims included undisclosed commissions. Players who questioned decisions or resisted, she said, were benched or publicly criticized for a supposed “lack of team spirit.”
Perhaps the most troubling portion of Reilly’s account involved mental and physical health concerns. She described intense psychological pressure, including late-night “private meetings” where players were allegedly forced to admit mistakes they did not believe they made.
Reilly claimed this environment led to chronic stress, insomnia, and situations where some athletes reportedly sought psychological help in secret. “Some young players almost left the team because they couldn’t bear it,” she wrote.
Reilly also alleged that players were pressured to conceal minor injuries in order to preserve the image of an undefeated team. According to her statement, athletes were sometimes given painkillers to continue competing, increasing the risk of long-term physical damage.
“We are not machines, we are human beings,” Reilly emphasized, a line that has since been widely quoted across media platforms.
The response was swift. Within hours, the AVCA issued an official statement, confirming that it was aware of the allegations and taking them “very seriously.” While the association did not comment on specific claims, it announced that appropriate protocols would be followed and that athlete welfare remains a top priority.
The statement sent shockwaves through the NCAA and NACC-affiliated volleyball community, with many interpreting it as a signal that the matter could escalate beyond internal university review.
As of now, Coach Dani Busboom Kelly has not issued a detailed public response addressing the specific accusations. Sources close to the program say the situation has left the coaching staff stunned, while the university is reportedly reviewing the matter internally.
Legal experts note that such allegations, if formally investigated, could involve multiple layers of compliance review, including NCAA regulations, NIL governance, and institutional oversight.
Fans, former players, and analysts are sharply divided. Some have voiced strong support for Reilly, praising her courage in speaking out. Others have urged caution, emphasizing the need for due process and verified facts before drawing conclusions.
On social media, hashtags related to Nebraska Volleyball, athlete rights, and NIL transparency trended throughout the day.
What happens next remains uncertain. If formal investigations are launched, the case could become a landmark moment in the ongoing national conversation about power dynamics, athlete welfare, and financial transparency in college sports.
For now, Bergen Reilly’s words have undeniably changed the landscape, forcing uncomfortable questions into the open and ensuring that the volleyball world will be watching closely.
One thing is clear: this is no longer just a team issue. It is a moment that may redefine accountability in college volleyball—and perhaps far beyond it.
