With the turnover from year to year, I think you're REALLY jumping the gun worrying about 2009 division alignment, don't you?

Huntington and Canton are only the tip of the iceburg. There are also Western and Southern teams that may not be around next season.

First official word on Rochester anywhere: Posted on CIFL website www.continentalindoorfootball.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=278&Itemid=63Raiders suspended, Mayhem to playoffs Tuesday, 10 June 2008 (Canton, OH) - The Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) has suspended the Rochester Raiders indefinitely for actions relating to the attempted resignation of the Raiders from the CIFL on Sunday. The Raiders will not participate in the 2008 CIFL Playoffs and a decision on their future will be decided when the season is complete. The Marion Mayhem have been awarded a playoff berth due to the suspension of the Raiders and will play in Saginaw, Michigan versus the Sting on Saturday, June 14 at the DOW Event Center. This is the second straight playoff appearance for the Mayhem as they defeated the Muskegon Thunder in the 2007 CIFL Playoffs.

So the league basically kicked them out because they tried to resign?
....You're fired!
You can't fire me, I quit!
Yeah, well you can't quit because you're fired!

And from what I hear, the players have all basically said "na'ah, we're not going to do this."

First, I can't believe I was away from the internet when all this happened (Damn Maine's poor cell reception for aircards?!)
Anyways, thanks to exit for keeping me informed.
Now that it appears the Rochester players may not be interested in continuing this farce, let's just go out on a limb and assume that the three games and title game are scheduled. It's the day of the Erie-Rochester Charity-Might-Count-or-Might-Not-Count Game.... and four hours to gametime, Erie fails to show up.
In that hypothetical situation, what league would Rochester jump to then?

Players and Fans got screwed. If I were a player, I wouldn't want to play for an organization that just screwed any chance of me and my teammates of winning a championship...
