New Media Director on the way?
The MBL has been negotiating this season to bring in a Certified Media Director for the League, as the league popularity is at a all time high.

With the league expanding at a rapid pace, the consensus around the MBL front office is that a Media Corportaion will look to merge to take on the duties of keeping the leagues' progression forward.

Some of the options on the table is a new Weekly TV/Radio Style Sports Show, Weekly Stats, A Top 10 plays of the Week, Interviews with the players, coaches, and owners, a social media boost, and more.

With almost 20 teams in the league spanning 6 states,  a Women's Pro League in talks for a possible 2019 launch, and TV and radio deals coming by the month?
The MBL seems to be hitting its stride.

Do you feel like the MBL needs a Media Director?
