In previous posts, I chronicled the fate of the National Lacrosse League which cancelled its season because of the lack of a collective bargaining agreement with its players, then proceeded to strike a deal and attempt a resurrection of the season nine days after tolling the sounds of sudden death.
A quick update: Both the Boston and Arizona based teams have opted to suspend operatons for the upcoming season with hopes to re-join in 2008. The Sports Biz Daily reported today that Arizona team exec Doug Moss cited a possible savings of $5 mil in taking the step to sit-out 2007.
Players from the Boston and Arizona teams will be made available in a dispersal draft to be held tonight.
The league issued a new schedule reflecting the two idle franchises.
