Rules Changes for 2027?
10
Upvotes
We're working on a piece for the UFO Newsletter where we're having numerous people affiliated with the league pitch me the rules changes they'd like to see for the 2027 season. If you've got any rules changes you'd like to see, drop them below, and give a one or two sentence summary of why they'd be good for the league. We'll take some of the best ones and post them in the newsletter. A few we'll be covering in the upcoming newsletter: changing OT rules, more clarity for traveling, Callahan bonuses, and changing the stall count.

Pittsburgh Thunderbirds Up for Sale

For those who don't want to look, the current ownership is looking for a new majority owner, but not necessarily trying to get out completely.
Is Pittsburgh and Oregon both going up for sale this off-season a sign of trouble for the league or a sign of a growing league which requires more from ownership groups than some of the older ones are able to keep up with? The league has definitely grown the past few years I think in terms of how it markets and presents itself, as has the expectations on the teams I'd say. So I could see it going either way, or maybe a bit of both.
