Will the teams that formed a sub league within the NIFL shop their teams around individually or go as a group to another league?

What league wants all of them?

Only af2 has that geography. They want cash up front. They also want larger arenas than, say, Casper offers. Cox Arena appeals to them, and that's probably the end of it.

The rest can be incorporated in 2 or 3 other leagues. I still think not all will make it that far.

CS and CG should be required to throw a going-away party before being cuffed and hauled away. Dunk tank, a variation on dodgeball, a food fight all seem in order...

The Calvary will go to the UFL possibly the same with the Guard.... SD will prolly go to the AFL 2 the rest will prolly fold or join less creditable leagues

I'm sure you meant UIF instead of UFL. UFL is Mark Cuban's new league.

UIF is a good fit for the Cavalry, but the Guard is too far away from the other teams. I can see Guard going WIFL or AIFA, and they will probably go to the AIFA because there are more Carolina teams there.

Columbia under a new owner will also go WIFL or AIFA. Again I'm thinking they will go AIFA because their are more Carolina teams and they will have a natural rivalry with Florence and Charleston if they try to join again.

Greensboro is still owned by Tony Pewonski. If any league let's them in, it will be the AIFA. If the AIFA does do a background check on the ownership, they will be left with two choices, XIFL or folding.

San Diego will probably try to join the af2. They really don't have any other options.

Beaumont will try to join APFL and IFL. APFL is the more likely choice.

If Dayton comes back, I would expect them to join the CIFL.

Go Wyo!

Casper's arena has as many seats as Cox in San Diego.

I concur with Tony-o on most of the info provided. Not sure if SD can make that jump but I wish them the best in trying to do so and the city deserves that much. The Guard and the rest should go to AIFA, Columbia too if they can get things worked out on a venue, G'boro has one of the best places to play as far as size and facilities for the fans. Unless G'boro gets a few things worked out, ownership, fan support (attendance), they will never move up or might just fold completely as tony-o stated. F'ville was af2 a few years back but that team was sold and now resides in Columbus Ga (South GA Wildcats), thay might could go af2 but the people in F'ville need to come out and support the team a bit better. From what I have heard, the Guard has never seen the numbers like the Wildcats of old had at the game.

Good luck to all, and as always, GO GUARD!!!!!

Actually, the South Georgia Wildcats play in Albany, GA, not Columbus.

I think Fayetteville and Columbia should try to go WIFL, but AIFA just seems more likely. More teams in the area, and probably cheaper. I have heard another rumor about Fayetteville and Columbia, but I'm not one to spread rumors that I am not at least 90% sure of, so I'll just keep quiet about that.

Ya your right UIF....

The number of seats isn't the problem; it's the ceiling height and other logistical issues.

All of the Cavalrys old rivals are in the UIF, and the Colorado Ice could quickly become a new one. Not only would opponents be close geographically, but the UIF is a very well run league...:)

I think there will be some leagues merge and they will add a few teams.
What should happen is, UIF north and UIF south. Drop the WIFL and AIFA
and take the best from them along with the Guard and maybe one more solid team to make the South division. The UIF is the most solid ran league and
could help some of these other teams become more legit.

When i was flying to spokane for the Everett hawks at Spokane shock game. There was two guy's from the Shockwave sitting behind me. They told me they were going to the game. Jerry Kurz was at this game. So you take what you want from it. But it looks like the Shockwave are going to the af2. It would be great to get wyoming to join us in the af2. so we can have a af2 northwest div. But they should go to the UIF.
