A New Football League Starting Up – The UFL
I do love football, but I'm not sure that this is a good idea.
The United Football League is a professional American football league being organized by William Hambrecht, a Wall Street investor and former minority partner in the USFL's Oakland Invaders, and Tim Armstrong, a senior executive at Google. Teams are already being set up in Las Vegas, Mexico City and Los Angeles and San Antonio, Raleigh-Durham, and Orlando are being considered for franchise locations. Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, has agreed to purchase a franchise for $30 million, reportedly in Las Vegas. Eight locations are planned for the first season, and are currently scheduled to start in August 2008.
The league plans to play its games on Friday nights, and they believe that the league will fill its rosters with quality players that go late in the NFL Draft or as undrafted free agents, or players that are released by NFL teams.
