    Not buying that they have a proven concept. All they have proven is that a hub-league can succeed in Utica, MI. Once they expand they become a bus-league which is an entirely different “concept” unless they keep the teams close enough so no overnight travel is required (like the Pacific Association). I’m sure they realize that which would explain why they want taxpayer money.
