USFL cities predictions

[MidwestJimmy]

I heard the USFL was going to start this spring as a minor league to the NFL. But now its debut has been delayed until 2014 (bad sign?). They will start with eight teams. The favorites for landing franchises include:

Portland
Sacramento
Omaha
Birmingham
Salt Lake City
Oklahoma City
San Antonio
Austin
Columbus
Akron
Toledo
Memphis
Las Vegas
Raleigh

I was thinking that maybe a dark horse city that has a college stadium might get in:

Fresno
Tulsa
El Paso
Louisville
Albuquerque
Tucson
Honolulu
Syracuse

The USFL does not want to be in NFL or MLB cities, so that leaves out Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Fort Worth (which has TCU's stadium but it's too close to Dallas). Syracuse is not very big but the East seems to be left out of the franchise rumors.
