Will the new league consider opinions of the fans?

So as someone from Canberra, I'll ask the question? Will you be happy for your tax dollars to be spent on a team to play in this comp. There is very little private enterprise sponsorship in the ACT. The cost of these scholarships, plus a couple of +22 yo "imports" would conservatively equate to about the same as paying a current NBL team by the time you factor in accomodation, food and education expenses. Who's gonna pay?

The Capitals are generously supported by Transact which is an ACT Government entity, so therefore in the absence of a business sponsor, the Federal Government will have to pay for this. The Cannons went through 3 iterations of unaffordability before finally disappearring and I cant see the NewNBL model being that much cheaper than today's, just better governed.

Apart from the fact it flies in the face of a potential D league, I don't have a problem with the idea, I just think the other 19,999,999 Australians may though.
