The interesting question is if they are not really competitive at the top of the BW, what makes them think they can compete at the top of the MW?

In 17 years in the BW, their average place finish is 5.4. To put this perspective, Monson over the same period of time at LB had an average finish of 4.1 and just got canned. They have hardly dominated this league. The only way the move make sense to me is for Football, but football is not included. I see a UOP kind of future for them, as a perennial bottom feeder in a better league.

Outside of MBB, the BW is generally stronger than the MWC, so their hopes seem to be centered around MBB. Good luck to them.
