'New' ABA team in Indy

[slapshot]

I read that the ABA was putting yet another team in Indy for the '05 season. To their credit, I noticed that Joe Newman was not (supposedly) part of the new ownership team. But the way the Legends burned so many bridges - Butler Univ., Pepsi Coliseum, staff (of which I was one), vendors, etc. - I find it hard to believe the league would still have any credibility to trade upon. When they finally folded the last time they were having trouble drawing 200 people to a high school gym. Maybe they'll try an elementary school next time!

The name is Alley Cats. Maybe that is a clue to where they will play.

Well, at least it isn't the "Alley Dawgs."

Says Joe in today's Indianapolis Star:

"The league is really growing because we figured out how to do it."

Well, at least it isn't the "Alley Dawgs."

Or "Alley DawgZzZ"

Newman said he is confident league fortunes have reversed. Each new owner will pay a $20,000 market reservation fee.

Still not nearly enough.

[Sam Hill]

Didn't it used to be $10,000?

Joe looking to cut and run? How far can you run when you're his age?

Very early prediction:

There will be no ABA Indianapolis team--period!

[dshaw62197]

There will be no ABA Indianapolis team - period!

That, I think, would be an act of mercy toward the good people of Indianapolis.

My guess is Joe had money on New England and gave away the points!
