Looks like there will definitely be another football league. The UFL will be kicking off this fall and with Frank Vuono, COO of the league along with Michael Hughue, Commissioner. It looks like a winner. The UFL is setting itself up to be a minor league to the NFL which would be the smarter play than to go head to head with the league. The UFL has a national television deal with Versus (the NHL television network in the United States). Sponsors are signing on and billionaire owners are buying teams, it looks like a recipe for success. The goal with the UFL is to get the last cuts on the NFL rosters. Many of these players could get picked up by the NFL as the season goes on which is a similar arrangement the NBA has with the D League. Hockey is king in Canada and football is king in the United States. Stay tuned, should be a good ride for the UFL.
