The group that I heard in Cleveland is Ambasadors in Sports. They are a similar sports ministry to MAI which has ULS teams (USL2, W-League and PDL) in Charlotte and So Cal. I haven't heard what their team name will be.

Sorry to change the subject back to USL2 expansion, but I can confirm that Cleveland will INDEED be part of the USL-2 in 2007. The team is called Cleveland City F.C. and they are owned by a Christian sports outreach group (like ButlerBob said). The group's website is www.aisint.org.
