JAN 1, 1976 - After the embar***ment of a cancelled post-season due to a player strike, the Neloxian leagues are considering a variety of drastic measures to start 1976 that will change the face of Neloxian baseball as we've come to know it.
Some of the radical changes are pointed mostly as the size of the Premier League and First Division.
"Teams feel as if there isn't much of a difference between the NPL and the NFD and so, there are some that are pushing hard for a merger," said Jack Barry, a writer for the Evanston Republic in Navelth.
Other owners are saying that the Premier League is truly a "top tier" league and deserves to stay at its current size of just 20 total teams.
"Most of the opponents are in the opposite spectrum and want just two single table ***ociations in the NPL and want to boot teams down to lower divisions, but that's all about money and little else."
Whatever decisions are made, they need to be made quickly, as fans are reluctant to embrace the league as the new season is primed to begin in March and players are on the fence as to where they're going to be.
"There is a possibility that players who are NSD guys now, might be playing on Premier League teams in a few months. That's going to change the financial landscape a ton."
It is not clear what would happen to the NFD and NSD if their teams were merged into the Premier League, however.
"It's all up in the air right now and no one knows what's going to happen. Neloxian baseball has never been this much in flux before."
