no details about number of teams yet though..

[Rmbay]

Rumors on the net, so take it with a grain of salt, says 8 teams with the season starting March 30th. Teams are supposedly what you expect: DC, St.Louis, Michigan, Memphis, Birmingham, Arlington, San Antonio and Houston, although which Houston team is supposedly still up in the air (although I find it hard to believe that hasn't been decided by now).

So my original prediction post the news break is pretty darn on the money...! Woo hoo!

>> Make your predictions now!

Mine...

The number of teams will be reduced likely 8-10 but no more than 12.

- COMPOSITION/HUB STATUS already posted but: If 8 Teams (60% chance): DALLAS, ST L, HOUSTON (Gamblers or Roughnecks) DC
MICH NJ MEMPHIS BIRMINGHAM
This covers 16.7% of US households. Dallas Birm Memphis hubs with games also played in DC, St L

Also SA may get the nod over Houston due to weather concerns and SA having no NFL/MLB/NHL team - Plus that dome makes weather moot and broadcasting more consistent. <<

A few things:

-If this happens, surprised that there's not going to be a team in Canton. My guess is that they could not decide which of the Maulers, Generals or Stars to put in Canton.
- It's a 5-3 on the XFL.
