Your chance to own a real basketball team

For a sixty dollar investment, you can own part of an IBL team. When enough money is raised, Clyde Warman will buy a franchise. All people that have purchased part of the sixty dollar investment will get to vote on team location, team jerseys, who to sign, which coaches to sign. Pretty much everything...I'm thinking about maybe doing this

And if not enough money is raised? Your 60 is gone or what? Sounds like a dumb idea to me...

Hell yeah! Sign Manute Bol, back brace and all. Also sign Eric Barkley, Chris Herren and a really old guy like Benoit Benjamin.

Let's build around theTHIEF, and if he wants to whine about management, he can just come here and voice his opinions. I'm letting you know now Thief, I don't pander to primadonnas!

How much does an IBL team cost?

Is the money routed to an offshore account while Mr. Warman plots his escape through international waters on his new yacht?

this sounds like myfootballclub.co.uk, which bought a football club in England last year (Ebbsfleet United). It seems to have worked out quite well, the organisers im pretty sure get there cash through the annual fee for maintenance of the website.

I dont know if this will be as successful, for one thing, England has so many clubs that it was not difficult to find one, also there is always the hope they get promoted to a higher league. An IBL franchise would not have this hope
