Nachdem es schon jeder weiß, das Smart Parts die "Miami Effect"-NXL Franchisegekaufen haben, veröffentlicht die NXL zu diesem Thema eine Pressemitteilung:
The National X Ball League™ (NXL™) announces a change in ownership of the Miami Effect™ franchise. The NXL has been advised by Richmond Italia that he has concluded discussions with Bill Gardner, Jr. to acquire the Miami Effect NXL franchise. Mr. Italia states that as the air date for the NXL on television draws near, he decided to resolve a conflict of interest as the League owner AND a team owner. He goes on to state that, „as television approaches, I cannot negotiate both for the team and the League. Since the NXL was my first interest, I am going back to my roots for this most importantstage of the game.“
Mike Ratko, Commissioner of the NXL welcomes Bill Gardner as sole owner of Miami Effect, a staunch supporter of the NXL, and a key figure in the quest for television.
