mamiller99 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Seems interesting enough, but probably won't happen within the next 10 or so years. Plus they would have to expand to another Western city to keep the conferences balanced. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
