Some of those schools are surrounded by Cartel battlegrounds. It will be interesting to see if a conference is desperate enough to let them in.

interesting

Cartels would be making money off gambling so they would probably not interfere I would think.

The team from Canada went 0-10 last year.

Interesting how that would work for the players of the US colleges. Would they all be expected to get a passport? Or would there be a sports loophole.

Wonder if the players from the Mexican team would go AWOL when playing inside the US.

NOt sure how the passport thing works, but the guy from Simon Fraser said something about them finding unique ways to handle that.

Not many folks follow D2, but to clarify, it's not just bball, they will compete in all the NCAA sports that they care to field a team for.

i thought of something they can offer that other schools cant. legal drinking age of 18.

specifically that you wont be arrested for it, not that they weren't drinking anyways.
