Expansion time. Alright so. We're gonna look strictly at the ISFL, cause the DSFL divisions drive me wild and I don't have the brain space to fix them. In fact we're expanding with the solo intent of being able to re-align these conferences in the ISFL. Now I see what we're trying to do here. We got a Nation Conference and a American Conference. But these conferences aren't balanced looking at where teams are located. Also both Conferences have 7 teams in them and as someone who has played 3 seasons in a 14 team SMJHL. Oh boy, 14 team leagues are awful on the schedule. You just can't do it nicely. So we need TWO teams.
Now we have London in the DSFL and Berlin in the ISFL. So we need a another team in Europe. However, they will not be going into the National Conference with Berlin. While they will play each other every year and have a big rivalry. They will go into the American Conference, to balance out the fact that teams in the National Conference have to fly to Europe during the season. So we're going to Rome! The Rome Gladiators will be coming to the American Conference. With a beautiful purple and gold color scheme, as well as a name that's a throwback to when playing a sport meant you potentially died.
With Rome in the mix I would move Arizona to the National Conference for Sarastoa so that Colorado and Yellowknife aren't the only teams in the West, and so new Orleans has a team close to them.
Now for the National Conferences new team we're gonna go geographically pretty central. To Des Moines, Iowa! Congrats Iowa on being a significant enough place to have a ISFL team. Boasting a population 10x that of Yellowknife, the Des Moines football team would be called the Wheat Kings. The Des Moines Wheat Kings with great tan and black color schemes to match. They are also regionally close enough to Chicago to have a rivalry there!
