Re: The quick demise of Team Illinois

This has been discussed many times. Hopefully for the last time here goes.
TI was able to buy ice at Leafs Center for a very very low price and also for a 5 year locked in rate.
Whether TI teams are good or bad does not matter to them. All that matters is they have FULL rosters at all levels. This is about making money. Its a business. Winning does not make them more or less money. Whether a AA Leafs player writes the check to TI or a upset Mission AAA player coming over to TI its the same money.
The only way (which will never happen) that TI would get hurt is if they could not field a team at a given level. I hope that clears it up to you. Oh, and my sources tell me they will not be paying the edge back anything.
