2022 Rumors Chat #3 recap – 12/9/2022

The summary of the "Rumors" Chat from Thursday, December 9th, 2021:

Some thought the conference schedule was reduced too much.  Not much was said about the Major or Watch Lists.  Kevin Bazat from Resmondo confirmed that the roster for Resmondo listed below is correct but for the most part these are all just still rumors as it is December.  Dan Smith did leave the MPT/Dan Smith merger.  Some thought Precision was still having a team and some thought they were not.

Toys for Tots in Palm Springs is this weekend and should have the Big League Dreams fields livestreamed on USSSALive.com

Bryson Baker said he was going to play in 2022 just not sure where.

Some believe the big pay day for players hurts the upper level.  Some including me believe it spreads out the talent.

A new team out of Illinois was announced RVCG/ACA/Redline.  Meirtran is coming back.
