True.  They managed to finish in the basement without any evidence that they actually dumped.  That's a pretty major achievement.

Has anyone looked at the Cups' roster? Inheriting this team is akin to
starting from scratch!

Greetings;
     I too would certainly welcome an 11th team.  I also think having them
inherit the Cups' roster would be the logical thing to do.

 I believe our league has consistently allowed an owner who was assuming
 management of an existing franchise to simply step into the shoes of the
 prior owner and that when we have added a franchise the new owner has
 drafted from scratch -- i.e., no expansion draft.  When both events took
 place at the same time, we made both owners draft from scratch.

 People can debate whether this is/was the right approach, I'm just trying
 to explain what we have done in the past.

 I support an 11th team and agree that the new owner should just assume the
 Cups franchise but will (of course) defer to the majority view.

 It was wrong when we made you and the Cups start from scratch and it would
 be wrong now.  I was taught that two wrongs don't make a right.

 More importantly, the circumstances are different.  This is a team that
 has expressed a willingness to join our league at the 11th hour (no pun
 intended) and one which will have very little time to prepare for the
 draft.

 It does absolutely no harm to the league as we should have all been
 operating on the assumption that the Cups would be returning.
