Registration of veterans to date is about even with this same time last year, give or take maybe 10 vets.
9 resurrected vets have returned so far this year.
The final count for missing vets over the past several years:
  • -165 in 2008 (last year)
  • -133 in 2007
  • -112 in 2006

I know you've been concerned about starting lots of new teams without an infrastructure to sustain them.

Texas is still missing 18 teams that were rookies last year, trailing other areas.
Last season there was only a single 2008 Texas rookie that didn't return.
Here are counts of just the 2009 rookies, by area, that haven't signed on for 2010 yet:
