expansion

[303TripleDouble]

So what does everyone think of the rapid expansion so far for the 2006 season? Too fast, too soon? On the bright side, the IBL doesn't have Joe for a commissioner.

Will be interesting to see how everything works out. I was pleased that the league played all but one scheduled game, I believe, last year. That says a lot about their ownership and plan.

The IBL is not expanding to fast for one main reason, they have their head on straight. Team's are not folding left and right, and they are showing up to game's. .

The IBL certainly did a good job last year with their schedule. Teams played when they were supposed to, and that keeps fans and sponsors from feeling alienated. If they do the same this year, we may see even more growth.

From what I hear, watch out for year 3.

The payment plan seems to spike then. We'll see who survives.

So has anyone heard of what other teams may be joining

Dare I ask what demon possessed you to bump up a 2 year old thread?

I was wondering the same thing. But to answer the question:

Akron Energy
Arizona Lightning
Dayton Jets
Edmonton Chill
Lansing Capitals
Vancouver, B.C.
Washington Presidents

Those are the supposed expansion/reactivated teams for this season.

"This season" was a misnomer. Vancouver BC is announced for 2009, not this season.

Washington Presidents?

That was last I had seen. Granted that list was culled from the IBL page on Wikipedia, but as far as I knew it was legit. I think Washington was quietly removed from the IBL's site, but was there during the season.
