I love it. Having two teams out west will be much better than one, and it will open the door for further expansion out west.
Also, will the LA team need a new name or just do what LA teams do and keep names that made more sense in their original cities?
The 60s and 70s are ripe for a rival league, and if the league doesn’t have enough action out west, I could see the rival league dominating out west.

Are we looking at two divisions or one large league? How long is the schedule? I presume it’s like football and played weekly.
