What is going to change in 7 years?
i understand what he's saying. Its always good to see what GM's are here for the long haul. By 2020, you should be able to judge how strong your core group of gm's are.. do you still have a full slate of gm's by then? or are you always having to replace gm's for 3-5 teams every season? I'm in a league where they have expanded to 36 teams, but we have a great core and rarely have to replace gm's, we are also in 2030.. you cant always assume that you will have gm's that will stay around forever though, thats just how this online stuff works.. people get bored, people leave. people have lifes that get in the way, go figure....
on the other hand, i dont think expansion is impossible just b/c you claim it hasnt been successful in other leagues... Generally speaking, MOST mogul leagues fail after 1-5 seasons. So its not just expansion that kills other leagues, its poor commishes, poor gm's, and/or unorganized league in general. Expansion could work this early with dedication from commishes and the expansion teams new owners. Every league will have to replace gm's from time to time, its just gonna happen. But if you have a committed core group with plenty of help and solid commishes, it could work.
just my .02
Good point. However I think for this decision, it's better to err on the safe side. I think expansion can work, but just not right now or in the near future.
just to play devils advocate, why dont you think it could work now? are you questioning the committment of commishes of this league? questioning the current gm's? It seems you guys have a pretty good core here and you all want this league to succeed. while i completely understand where your coming from, if you dont question the committment of the league, why wait? looks like you have guys wanting in the league all the time.. i know i may be missing something b/c i've never even been to the board until today, but, being too young of a league isnt really a legit excuse to me. It could work easliy with dedication
