*Also scrolling through the team's websites, rosters are developing, most already have some guys signed, and it appears Reading has their whole team set, expansion teams Dallas and Arkansas' websites are getting better with more news, both are playing in pretty large venues too

It seems like everyone is ready to go except Chicago who we still know nothing about...

Link didn't work for me, but here's another story that verifies it...

Question is, why not list it on the league website?

Craig Segar was a part-owner of the Ft. Myers D-League team, by the way.

It should be www.marylandnighthawks.com. They have video of the press event too.

Yeah, as I mentioned before, it seems like they're struggling to update the new site. Perhaps they have a third party managing it? It looks like they need more control, or the releases just aren't getting out there.

Otherwise, things seem to be coming together. The Quad Cities site has been updated, the Dallas is current and being updated, and Arkansas is getting some good coverage. So outside of Chicago, it looks like the teams are ready to go.

Lots of positive news coming out of the PBL over the past few days. Now let's see them spread the word.

EDIT: They issued a press release and updated the website today. So that's good to see.

Let me be the first on record to applaud their "pay to play, pay more to win" concept on compensation.
