Just eight weeks into their inaugural season the AAF, professional football’s fledgling spring league, is suspending operations, at least for now, according to reports from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk and Daniel Kaplan of Sports Business Journal.
The key word here is suspending, not ending. The problem as with most of the startup leagues is money and this one is no exception.
Tom Dundon, the league owner, made this decision over objections from the founders of the league, Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian who have been vocal about keeping the league going.
