NO BULL: EIGHT-TEAM RODEO LEAGUE HAS PLANS FOR 2001

9.19.2000

          Major League Bull Riding (MLBR) will "join the
     seemingly endless proliferation of professional sports by
     establishing" teams in eight cities in 2001, with one of its
     "targets" being Dallas, if the league can find an investor
     "willing to put up" $1M or more, according to Richard Alm of
     the DALLAS MORNING NEWS.  The MLBR is the "brainchild" of
     CEO Terry Andrade and livestock coordinator Steve Katich. 
     The league plans a 16-game schedule in 2001, and it
     "eventually wants to expand" to 16 teams.  Alm adds that in
     addition to Dallas, Houston and San Antonio "also are under
     consideration" for teams, and venues "will be chosen once
     owners are in the fold."  MLBR "is offering a guaranteed
     minimum" salary of $40,000 (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/19).
