The Alliance of American Football could be discontinued if it does not reach an agreement with the NFL Players’ Association to use NFL players, majority owner Tom Dundon told USA Today on Wednesday.
"If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league," Dundon said in the report. "We are looking at our options, one of which is discontinuing the league."
Dundon told USA Today that he expects to decide on the league’s future by the end of the week. The AAF announced on Feb. 19 that Dundon, the owner of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, had committed $250 million to the league, becoming the chairman of the Alliance board of directors.
