Around December of this year....the current players/owners contract ends.
The owners....over the past decade....have come to a reality....around a dozen clubs are anchored down and not in a position to get quality players. At the top level....there's around ten clubs who have the cash flow to hire top-level players. In the middle....around eight clubs have enough cash flow....to occasionally challenge top clubs.
The owners have wised-up....they want a pay-cap. The players? They refuse to consider the idea.
So I'll just say it....by early 2027....a strike is likely to occur, and I doubt that any games are played in 2027.
By the summer of 2027.....with no 'rescue' in sight....some folks start talking of a rival-league....eight teams....mostly in the south.
