That's the easiest solution, and leaving the league schedule as is minus the games the Gladiators abandoned would mean just an extra bye for each team. Thus, schedules wouldn't have to be reprinted for the public. We had this happen to us in 1995 when a team left the league at the last minute. We simply filled in the game with a non-league opponent and left everything else as is.
Hate to see it happen, but regardless of what league you are in, it happens...
Heck we had to do it this year already as well....lucky to get a non-league game when leagues are into their season...
We were lucky to get with Anthony McCormick of the GMFL and he had teams that were able to come to us (since it was a home game)...Maybe some of the MCFL teams can contact the GMFL...some teams might be availabe and since they have teams in Michigan and Ohio, you might be able to get a team to commit.
