NBL statement on new teams
"The NBL Commission has received applications for an NBL license from two new clubs, one based in Brisbane and a second Melbourne-based team," said Sengstock. “The Commission met last night to review the applications.
“The Commission has asked NBL management to validate some of the detailed information contained in the applications before we can make a determination as to whether either bid group has satisfied the requirements to be issued an NBL license. Expansion of the league is a strategic priority however it remains imperative that it is achieved in a measured and considered way. It is imperative any expansion is sustainable for the long term and we will undertake all necessary steps to ensure as a Commission we deliver that.
“The Commission hopes to be able to make a final determination on the applications early in the New Year once that verification process has been completed.”
