The United States Basketball League (USBL) is the
first and only sports league structured as a franchisor and the
only publicly-traded sports league (OTCBB: USBL). Operating since
1985, the USBL has seen 150 of its former players
“graduate” to the National Basketball Association
(NBA). The USBL is a unique investment vehicle that allows its
stakeholders to benefit dramatically from an expected upward
valuation in the cost of franchises. Potentially, there are
approximately 100 small-to-medium sized cities in the United States
that could accommodate a USBL franchise. Owning a professional
sports team is more affordable than you may think.
