Some BIG changes going to be happening in Big V

Even after 10 years, surely the direction of some clubs should not allow them in because in hindsight they are going backwards not forward

Everyone has to show their plan moving forward to get in. And the sustainability etc. I guess for some clubs it does always pan out as well as the planned. They all have to start somewhere though.

Money gets you in and a half decent list, don't worry if the players change each year, sustainability is no concern to the league, one club changes venues each year, roster every year, no domestic, hardly any rep teams yet no problem staying involved. This is not a hit on that club but shows that the boxes ticked to enter don't really need ticking

While I agree in what you two are presenting, as issues that can't be ignored, there is in fact a set of criteria for entry into the Big V.

Maybe the issue is ignoring the actual rules and directives, maybe there is a lack of accountability somewhere...?

When the league allows anyone to enter regardless of sustainability or lack of funds then it becomes a glorified MMBL. Back in the Matt Cowling days you had to have a good domestic program, junior rep program, money, committee, good venue with decent amenities and other items that had to be ticked off before you were allowed to enter.

Bring back the ABA

Back to the ABA days lol

Maybe it will become an elite program again like it used to be!

There maybe a good reason this has happened,I believe.
A major stuff up

With the rumoured mass exodus to SEABL sense to have the whole Big V run one division with Geographic conferences

haha the old hide a few seasons of data trick, one of the many great mysteries of the Big V

Maybe when SEABL are running the comp they won't lose whole years of stats and results

Interesting fact,you can retrieve results of big v matches from 2002 upto 2015,BUT,NOT 2016.
Does anyone have the answer to this?

Why is it that you can revisit results for 2002 right through to 2015,WHATEVER HAPPENED TO 2016?

^ is this fact or assumption, sounds a bit ambitious

Big V is going to be taken over by SEABL. In 2019 SEABL will have SEAB Division 1, SEABL Division 2 and a Big V Division (all non SEABL clubs from current State Champ, D1 and D2 put into 4 'geographical' conferences with cross conference playoffs / finals.

I wonder how she defines "good place"..

Sure it is just coincidence

Interesting.. in a week that stalwart clubs leave for SEABL the CEO also leaves.

Media are invited to a major announcement by the Adelaide 36ers Chief Executive, Leeanne Grantham who will name the first import to join the team for the 2011/12 iiNet NBL season.
