16 Franchises offered by USAPFL
|
| Dennis Wilson, CEO of USA Football Leagues (USAFBL) announced the
USA Professional Football League (USAPFL) has positioned 16 franchises in northeastern and mid-atlantic states
that will begin play in 2011. |
| "The USAPFL will operate
similar to baseball's Triple AAA leagues and will be affiliated with the BNEFF as a Double AA entity and the BEEF
as a Single A league," stated Wilson who is serving his 15th term as President of the Metropolitan New York
Football Writers Association. "The objective of the USAPFL is to serve as a true independent minor league
and, in no way, attempt to compete with the NFL, CFL or AFL." |
|
|
|
|
| "The USAPFL will not be a pay-to-play league, the method that
funds current minor and semi-pro leagues," continued Wilson. "The venues selected will reduce travel
costs by utilizing buses and the league is currently negotiating to form an affiliation with a major hotel chain." |
| Wilson added, "The objetive of the USAPFL is to add another division
in 2012 that would include the southern and western states, increasing the total number of franchises to 32. Hopefully
affiliations will be developed with the NFL teams to provide conditioned, game-tested players in the event injuries
occur." |
|
|
|
| "The USAPFL will provide low-cost, economical admission, merchandise
and refreshments for families with no franchise located in an NFL territory nor any team logos or nicknames similar
to that of an NFL franchise," commented Wilson. He concluded, "The USAPFL has signed a contract with
USA Football Network that will produce games for cable vision systems as well as web casting." |
