CBA Coming Back New and Improved

[Mysteryman]

Ken heard the same thing I heard, the CBA will be back with experienced front office staff, limited budgets and solid leadership. Expect announcements shortly.

[psbf]

I'm going to say the same thing I said to the last thread starter on this subject. Unless I see official word on this, it's hearsay.
I'll add that unless my area is included, I could care less.

[minorleagfan09]

limited budgets... you are speaking my language. but you need franchise owners for those. so far... just more talk on a message board.

[preeths]

It may indeed be more than talk. Let's keep in mind though that any reincarnated CBA would bear almost no connection to the CBA that essentially went belly up this year.

[minorleagfan09]

It may indeed be more than talk.

i do hope so. but you can't just jump to conclusions based on some random posters sourceless claims... well unless you know something.

[JAKMAN]

The AFL couldn't make it. How can the CBA do it?

[preeths]

Not sure I understand. What connection are you making between the two leagues?

[ryanacra]

I know it might be a long shot...but I hope the CBA makes it back. The two years I was GM in Great Falls are easily the best of my professional career. It is really too bad that a few owners, unfortunately the two that owned my team, ruined a legendary league.

But what if all that's back is a name? What if there are none of the final four members of the league? Does the CBA being back solely in name cut it for you? I'm not going to fault you if it does, being a Cleveland Browns fan and all, but I do wonder if it will.

[psbf]

It would be nice if the league could come back, but until I see some kind of an official press release on it, I'm not going to believe it. My memories of the league are from the Piranhas and the Xplosion. The CBA needs some honest and responsible people at the head and maybe a change in name. But I see the chances are slim.

[JAKMAN]

Still no word. The CBA is dead. Why they just can't put out a press release and admit it is beyond me. You don't even have to pay anybody to do it or make it 100% perfect. Just do it, already, so we can get on with it.

[preeths]

The old CBA is dead. The name and logo may survive if somebody ponies up the dough for them.

[psbf]

I could say the same for the Xplosion who were abandoned by their owners.

[PikevilleOT]

I think you just did ;)

[psbf]

Yes I did. Unfair as it is, but true.

[PikevilleOT]

do you still post over on the old x board...

[psbf]

Unfortunately, their website is no longer. Their Discussion Board had become a joke anyway, so maybe it's better off gone. I still X souvenirs, though.

[MJHankel]

The Discussion Board is still up:

[psbf]

Thanks, MJ. Not sure how or why it's still up, though.

I imagine a lot of defunct team's boards get left up and forgotten about. The Motor City Mechanics have been defunct since 2006 and their board is still up. Unfortunatly, it was taken over by porn bots long ago.
