The Problem With The NBL is .............

Trust me - I am all for making the league bigger and stronger, and especially try and stop losing quality Australian players to other leagues.

But the reality is that we have had to make huge salary cap cuts to make sure some teams do not go bankrupt, and this is why we are losing players to other leagues as the money is a lot better.

If we get some Asian teams involved - who is going to pay for the massive increases in travel costs without sending teams broke?

I agree with Boza. We urgently need NBL back on FTA TV. Without this we will never see the NBL back in the glory boom days from mid 80's to mid 90's. A real opportunity exists for NBL to be back on FTA TV in 2007 for two reasons. 1)Is the anticipated success of the Men's and Womens national teams in the 2006 commonwealth games. 2)Which ever TV station misses out on next years AFL rights biiding war, will have serious dollars to play with. Surely the limited dollars the NBL receives from Foxtel for the TV rights is only chump change compared to what the FTA channels are willing to pay for the AFL. If one of the FTA channels were appraoched by the NBL board with the corrcet marketing strategy and a 3-4 year offer, there is plenty of scope for the NBL to be turned around and restored it to former glory days.

I believe any parent that has a fully paid up junior district player can vote at any AGM as a member, as well as adult players and coaches. It should be in their constitution, which from memory confirms it. But then again, their last extraordinary AGM was illegal on a number of counts. And this had better not be deleted.
