I can vouch for stang, I don't think I've ever even see him resign from a league he's committed to. Bubba I don't know anything about honestly.
Sean - I ran the numbers on Calgary and LV as I posted originally both post a budget of around 75M and can sustain a team I think.
I only see five reason's expansion is getting a no:
-The GMs running the team
-The cities not being able to support the teams
-Small market teams wanting to move
-We didn't get a say
-It hasn't worked in other leagues.
No offense, but I feel the only substantial argument there is it hasn't worked in other leagues, but nobody has specified as to why they feel the expansion was at the root of said failures. Scotty isn't making an executive decision on this but I can understand his frustration when every legit rebuff has been addressed by Scotty.
I don't think expansion in anyway detracts from BAL and I don't understand his drastic POV all things considered. This isn't worth getting super upset about and believe me we won't go through with this if it's that upsetting to people. But I fought Scotty privately on this for two months and I can't think of any reason against expansion that hasn't been addressed. I highly doubt expansion alone was responsible for the demise of those leagues and I feel Stang is one helluva GM that would do very well with an expansion team.
If there really is a mondo concern for the other team then let me take over the expansion team and somebody take HOU. But that's my 2 cents. If nothing else please don't questions Scotty and my commitment to the league, even if you don't agree I think we've both proven we're always trying to do what's best for the league.
