Why enter a team in a summer pro league?

[Ken, Steelheads fan]

Why should a minor league owner spend money to register an entire team in a summer pro league? How does this translate into butts in seats? The ABA Rochester Razorsharks are entering a team in a DC area pro summer league.

Whatever happened to sending just a scout to evaluate talent and make contacts?

The Gwinnett Gwizzlies (remember them?) entered a team in the Southern California Pro Summer League last year. Of course, the Gwizzlies didn't last long enough to even start the 2004-2005 ABA season. Entering a team in such a league didn't make sense to me then and doesn't make sense to me now. Limited financial resources are being stretched even further--and for what?

Seriously, what do you expect from a team in a league that has 70 'teams' and is looking to expand?

Let's hope that their 'press releases' will be proof-read, unlike the Gwizzlies! Then again, they aren't much fun to read without the mistakes!

Hmmmm. The ABA Maryland Nighthawks too?

...and the team will be called White Chocolate? Why bother then?
