I came across this article below about the Cairns Taipans nervously waiting to see what will happen. Should we be surprised by the last line which mentions the board may not make any final decisions today? Probably not.
I'll keep you updated on news about the new league when I hear more.

The future of the Cairns Taipans could be known as early as today with basketball bosses meeting to discuss which teams will make up a new national competition.
Taipans general manager Mark Beecroft says they are also waiting to hear whether the Queensland Government will provide a $1 million funding guarantee.
He says the club is nervous.
'We've still got our fingers crossed crossed, we understand the NBL board will be meeting to make a decision on the format of the league,' he said.
'There are a few things we're yet to have in place - one being the guarantee and obviously the working capital through the pledges we've got to collect this week.'
An NBL spokesman says the board may not reach a final decision today, but the club should know within a fortnight whether it has been accepted into the new league.
