The calendar has turned to July, the month where some of us looked forward to watching GW players and newcomers take the court for practically meaningless games.  This changed last year when McDonough wanted a fee from Kenner organizers to turn their air conditioning on (and essentially make the gym available).  Kenner said no, vowed to move the league to Howard only for the Bison to say no thanks, and eventually settled at Bowie State University.  There may have been a handful of GW appearances but as someone who did not make the trip to Bowie, I couldn't tell you with any certainty.  The result was a shortened season which came and went with little fanfare.

The rumblings this year are as follows:

A rumored three week season in July (though I can't find any dates).
Catholic University is the possible venue.
Nike is no longer affiliated with the league.
A loose report out of Georgetown is indicating that their players are not expected to play
No mention on the GW Sports website.

All of this adds up to a shame.  It's frustrating that this league existed for decades yet somehow can't continue.  Gtown undoubtedly witnessed higher energy costs, the league, which does not charge admission to games could not afford this, and Nike (or any other sponsor) wasn't willing to provide above and beyond what they were already providing.

Catholic would be a very nice place to hold the event but if Georgetown is against playing, would they be the first domino to fall or can the league continue in any meaningful sort of way without them?  We'll have this answer soon enough, and it's likely to be a sad answer.
