Interesting that the BBA Today link goes to episode #66. More recent episodes are in there, though.

I think it's a fun league, but I admit I'm biased.

This is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door of the Brewster, one of the best-run and longest-running online OOTP leagues. And because the opening is in UMEBA (a subleague), it is particularly a great opportunity for someone who's new to online leagues. UMEBA is only ten teams, so you can learn the players quickly, but you also have the benefit of the larger MBBA community to help you out (many of whom started in UMEBA). Come join before the 2046 season gets underway!
