“Long overdue?”

I suppose it could succeed, but it’s going to have to compete with a better product for fan base. Seems like a bit of a long shot.

Indoor LAX ... Failed.

Arena Football ... Failed.

At least I can walk to the games at MPH.

Presumably they've done their market research...but it seems they'd be much better of having the season run from some period April through October.
Doesn't seem they'd be able to compete for eyeballs and dollars with the Orange.

Where will their homecourt be?

I’m going to tryout.

Here.. Capacity 350 tops.. There is only 1 side of bleachers...

Through MPH then, I reclaim my sports career and pursue Boeheim accepting my 5th year eligibility

This has to be at least the third attempt at this, will be shocked if they play a game.

 

[Trueblue25]

Boeheim will recruit me out of this league for 5th year eligibility. I’ll accept the offer, as Syracuse has always been my dream school, however I also view it as an obstacle between the NBA and I.

Good luck outclassing Bjorn in open tryouts.

Tell him Cusefan says hello.

That's fine, but if you decide to go with the G-League instead, could you please give a descent amount of notice?

I understand it may upset some people, but I hope you find solice in my hopes that you find another recruit (in April) to take my spot and help lead you to a national championship.

Fixed.

Seriously, MPH can't possibly have a basketball team, can they?

Edit: it helps to read the linked article.

I looked at the ABA. The nearest franchises are in Binghamton, where they play at Seton Catholic HS, Worcester MA, where they play at the Boys and Girls Club and Wayne, NJ, where they play at the YMCA.

Big-time.

Technically they do have a team. Varsity BB has lost 33 straight and 0 home wins since opening the $7M athletic complex!

From what I understand, franchises start up and fold pretty quickly.

Over 350 franchises have folded in the past 10 years

You think they paid franchise fees? Nice work if you can get it.

 

[OrangeDW]

Will they play against Jackie Moon’s team?

Stallions? I think they would draw more interest with a mascot that resonates more with the locals. Something like the Syracuse Tangerines, Salt miners, the Onondaga Lakers or the Syracuse Abonimables, snow plows or NorEasters.

I've only sat in the first row at a big time basketball game once. It was in the dome during the preseason NIT. After the SU game ended, almost nobody stayed to watch the other half of the bracket, which was Siena vs. Bucknell I believe. I stayed and was able to move all the way up to the front row behind the Siena bench. It was awesome to watch D1 caliber basketball players from that close. You pick up on a lot more and appreciate how good they really are.

Long story short, it will probably be pretty cool to watch these professionals up close and personal, and I bet it won't cost much either.

I'm for it.

I think it should be the Syracuse aSalt

Syracuse Potholes.

Playing a bone jarring 2-3 zone, with man to man principles!
