This is getting quite interesting.
On Tuesday, the Alliance of American Football broke the hearts of thoussand of fans who were actually enjoying spring football when the upstart league decided to suspend football operations and effectively shutdown after just eight weeks of play.
No finish to the season, no postseason, nothing else left to do. This was pretty devastating news to the players who put their heart and soul into the league in an effort to someday make it back to the NFL.
While the AAF dream is dead, there will be another chance for players as the Vince McMahon-led XFL will begin operations in February of 2020.
Despite the AAF’s fate, the XFL is extremely confident in what they will be able to do a second time around after they ended football related operations after one season way back in the day.
Per XFL:
“We have said all along the success or failure of other leagues will have no impact on our ability to deliver high-quality, fast-paced, professional football. The XFL is well-funded, we have time before kick-off to execute our business plan, and we will soon announce a national broadcast and cable TV schedule that makes it easy for fans to find our games consistently every weekend when we launch next February. There is no doubt that avid football fans want more and we’re excited to get going in 2020.”

On top of that, the XFL seemingly wants to acquire some assets from the AAF, according to Darren Rovell.
