It's not an issue about lack of funds. Pittsburgh ownership, as a whole, probably has more money than every owner of every other CBA, ABA and PBL team combined. How they decide to spend those funds is anyone's guess.

Xplosion do have a year remaining on their lease, so they won't be popping up in a high school gym TBD any time soon.

I can't say I know what kind of strategy, if any, Pitt is using but we've been reassured that all things are a go.

How can you know Pitt's ownership has all this money if you don't know who the ownership is? Or do you know and you aren't divulging that info for privacy matters?

that anyone says here is just guesswork(unless someone has an unknown source), since the Xplosion have not released any info. One thing I would like to do is correct Front Office. The Xplosion began in the ABA and have spent two season in this league, so they have 2 years left on their lease, not 1.

I do have knowledge as to Pitt's Ownership Group, but if it's not public knowledge, then I won't be the one to disclose it.

PSBF, that's my point. Real businessmen don't break leases and show up at High School gyms. So 1 or 2 years, regardless, they'll adhere to the terms of that agreement.

Yeah maybe the new Pitt. owners are the CBA and every other team in the CBA splitting the cost. Then they sure would have more money than any "individual" owner ship group in the CBA.

If not, and there is an ownership group, they better get their act together. Playing out a season like this will undoubtedly hurt the CBA as a whole, just like Great Falls and Atlanta did. 2 seasons in a row with stunts like this will bring more red flags!

Congratulations FO on the promotion by the way!

You all can speculate all you want, I'll be back when I learn something. FO, I don't know what 'sources' you have about the X, but I'll look forward to when I can get something official. These rumors are driving me crazy :(

For some reason I see more Inspector Gadget in PSBF than Sherlock Holmes, but go get us some info!

Best of luck, Zeke, as a former rival, we'll miss you in here.

What frustrates me is that when the Xplosion were releasing news and I reported it, I never got any thankyou's, unlike when Chuck reported on Albany or any other fan reported on their team. Especially not from you, Front Office!
