***Official AAF Discussion Thread***
The first games of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) are this weekend. I haven't followed it and at this point I'm not that interested. However, a friend called me all excited. He said CBS will be carrying all the games... that seems interesting. I seen an NFL Network logo on the AAF website... that seems interesting.
What's your take? Is your DVR set? Why should I care? https://aaf.com/schedule |

It’s starting to become spring. Most folks are completely exhausted with football by March.
Maybe a mid summer league or start playing and roll your season into preseason with the NFL. So players can keep fan interest. Cause right now it scheduling sucks big ass. |

While the attendance thing is problemmatic, I wonder what caused the need for the giant cash investment. You'd think they would have at least had costs largely covered for the first season as part of their initial plan. They can't have expected to be selling out 60k seats per game already, right?

Supposedly the piece in the Athletic gives detail as to why the 'canes owner stepped in.

Yeah...look at the way this is worded:

And IMO, it takes longer than a few days for someone to decided to give up $250+ Million, get the lawyers involved, draw up the legal documents, agree to this new position as Chairman etc. Sounds like something that was in the plans for awhile.

Says SOME paychecks weren't received. Claims it was a glitch. Nothing about a lack of funds.

Cane's owner is the Top Golf guy. He wants the AAF's technology.

FWIW, Ebersol disputes the Athletic article and says it was an investment - not a bailout.
