I thought that alone was interesting . . . they do technically get a nationally televised game as they each get a London game. But then further down in this article it mentions that they benefit from no short weeks . . . which means the whole "everybody plays a Thursday Night Game" is out the window. Thoughts? I think it might be overlookable given that these teams are not competitive to begin with but a secondary effect of this is that two more teams have to play a Thursday night game they otherwise wouldn't have had to play.
