Earlier today I met with some friends at my club and we were discussing how a professional league might look like in the United States. We came up with an idea for the Super 12, consisting of two clubs from Canada as well. Looking at how some of the bigger clubs are run, it seems obvious that a few wouldn't make the transition all too well. However, we've been hearing a lot about potential new owners for a few clubs like the Griffins, Barbarians and Warriors that would be willing to turn these clubs into powerhouses.
There has been talk about a league starting up by 2013, but from what we heard from both Chicago clubs is that it likely won't get underway until 2015 following the RWC. I think the earlier, the better, obviously. How would you like the see a league formed?
This is what we came up with:
BC Bears
Boston RFC
Charleston (franchise to be named)
Chicago Griffins
Chicago Lions
Denver Barbarians
Dallas Harlequins
New York (franchise to be named)
Ontario Blues
San Francisco Golden Gate
Seattle (franchise to be named)
Utah Warriors
