Gee - I wonder why Sheboygan and Waterloo weren't able to continue to support teams?

Isn't it obvious - they were both under .500.
(Ok - so why does Chicago continue to support teams?...)

Mark, you might also ask why Syracuse and Rochester franchises folded. I believe Syracuse franchise moved to another city. Not sure about Rochester. I know back in those days they had a regional draft. East coast players could only be drafted by East coast teams. Best players were generally in the East. All of that has changed. Also snow-ins at Syracuse and Rochester must have become a drag for the teams and fans. Thoughts?

Syracuse moved to Philly and became the 76ers. Rochester moved to Cincinnati.
