XFL & USFL officially announced their intent to merge leagues

No surprise. Football may be America's #1 sport but having two lower level pro leagues wasn't going to work out, for profitability/sustainability

 

[MarcusRock]

Wonder how many teams that'll mean. Glad an alternate league will still be around so players can get additional looks and chances. Must be hard to work your butt off and then not make cut day or latch on to another team.

I wish the nfl would adopt the kickoff system they used in the last version of the XFL.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Shocker.

 

[Hagman]

Cool. Now I have only one minor league to ignore instead of two. That's a real time-saver.

 

[erod]

That's half the failure!

So will it be call the XUSFL (ex-USFL)?

FLUX

 

[JeffInDC]

The XFL was the BETTER of the 2 products in my opinion.

 

[VaqueroTD]

So will it be call the XUSFL (ex-USFL)?

Or any for that matter.

They should merge with the CFL, why not?

 

[Cowboys5217]

I am glad to hear this. I watched both leagues because I like football. A merger was something I was already hoping for.

What took so long?

 

[eromeopolk]

smart.

No league is touching him. Good way to create an unneeded firestorm for a small pro league that is desperate for no drama and growth
