I understand that Barry Bradford is a stand up guy. It will be interesting to see how long he will be associated with the PBL. In their short existence almost everyone who has partnered with Doc has gone quietly into the sunset. Hmmmm.

[quote=""nikki""]Last I checked, to operate a minor league baseball team your looking at $15 million MINIMUM, AAA around $20+ million! For the AHL, you come in at around $8-10 million. ABA? What, $25,000 MAYBE, then pray to God you get funding? The reason minor league hoops fails...

As expected....The implosion begins. Start with Eleven and end with at least one. I'm sure more will be gone soon. Those that are left by playoff time will probably leave shortly after. At least we can count on Rochester to be there.
