I woke up and this decision is still atrocious.
They made the 'standings' change on the website and have SF at 0-5. Apparently one of the many punishments was going back in time and completely removing the fact that a (legal) game vs. SC last week took place.

I'm confident the term BUSH LEAGUE is appropriate...

S0, the teams does not take the "maybe it's there, maybe it's not" Bush league IFL insuranse and buys their own to make sure the players are covered. Would you trust insurance through this mickey mouse outfit with what we have seen since the merger? Get a good team of lawyers on and flood these idiots with your opinions as fans. Pull out of the league untill it is resolved. This **** league does not deserve a squared away team like the Storm anyway. The Storm can pull a few exhibition games to finish the home schedule. What a load of crap...

I can assure you that nobody I talked to within the Beef organization are remotely in favor of this move.

And how about the 21st man who is probably already in Billings? Why was this news released at midnight on a Friday?

I have no idea when it hit the Storm website, I happened to get a call from my mother-in-law when it made the late local news at 10:30 or so local time.

I don't think there should be a game. The league dont want the Storm the league dont get the Storm. This is a move designed to penalize the Storm for winning too much, pure and simple. You don't penalize the players and fans for an administrative error. Fine the heck out of the office. Screw the IFL. Find other games to play while you sue them.

CHEATERS ;D CHEATERS ;D CHEATERS ;D Indeed, I guess. the more likely story is that the league office said you have to use XYZ company for your WC insurance.. Storm have been sing their ABC company for years, probably better coverage, and I'd be welling to bet dollars to doughnuts that the Benizio family sells insurance, or is involved somehow

Maybe the Storm needs to relocate to a town that will let them build a bigger arena so we can join the AF2. I think are even better than the IFL.....

It's especially sad because through all the league problems, the top teir of this league was going to make for a fascinating postseason. Sioux Falls looked like the odds on favorite, but I don't think even Storm fans were crazy enough to pencil in #5 just yet. A lot of the old UIF teams going head to head in the playoffs was going to be phenominal. Now it's just lame.

well, did I read in the other thread that there's now 12 teams making the playoffs.. top 3 in each division..
of course.. they won't credit teams with wins out of this until they need it to keep the Storm out of the playoffs..
BUSH LEAGUE
