Changes in the USA Grassroots Basketball League

The original plan for the USA Grassroots Basketball League is out.  Too many populations discrepancies between the various teams.  New Plan Below.


USA GBL Take II
Scenario for the Imagination - Grassroots Basketball in America is different; instead of playing AAU, the top young players in America play in a Grassroots Basketball League run by USA Basketball.  Synopsis below...

- USA Grassroots Basketball League - 25 Teams 

- Each team will represent an American geographical region plus Canada. 
- A US State must field two teams if it has a population of over 20M; therefore, Texas    and California will each have two teams.

Changes from original USA GBL Plan
- Team Texas will be separated and Texas will field two teams

- Arkansas leaves Team Gulf for Team Appalachia to rectify population in-balance.
- Team Virginia combines with Team MD/DC to for Team Capitol.
