RulesEdit Teams will have 50 players on each roster, with some selected by a territorial draft.[15] The territory assigned to a team consists of at least five colleges plus designated professional teams, one Canadian Football League, and four NFL teams, for those from Big Ten and the Big 12 conferences. Only one quarterback can be taken from their region.[18] A quarterbacks-only "Protect or Pick" draft was conducted in November 2018 in which teams may retain their allocated quarterback or select an unprotected quarterback from another team.[19] Telecasts will feature no television timeouts and 60 percent fewer commercials, with the league aiming for an approximate real-time game length of 150 minutes, down from just over 180 in the NFL.[15][20] All teams must attempt two-point conversions after each touchdown; there will be no extra point kicks.[20] There will be no kickoffs; halves, odd overtime periods and after scores will begin on each team's own 25-yard line, the same as touchbacks in the NFL and NCAA. In lieu of an onside kick, a team can keep possession of the ball by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line and gaining at least 10 yards.[20][1] The play clock will run only 30 seconds, 10 seconds shorter than in the NFL.[20] Two coach's challenges per team are the only replays; no challenges in last two minutes of either half nor any overtime period, as they are automatic.[20] Outside organizations will handle head-safety protocols.[13] Playoffs will consist of four teams, the top two teams from each conference.[11] BusinessEdit The league will operate as a single entity, with all teams owned and operated by the league, under the name Legendary Field Exhibitions LLC.[20] Some of the investors in the AAF include Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, The Chernin Group (which owns Barstool Sports), Jared Allen, Slow Ventures, Adrian Fenty, Charles King's M Ventures, and Keith Rabois.[13][15] MGM Resorts International made an investment in the AAF tech platform,[21] and entered a three-year sponsorship agreement to become the league's official sports betting sponsor and exclusive gaming partner. The deal marks the first time any sports organization has sold exclusive in-game betting rights to a sportsbook.[22][23] The league is also planning player bonuses and scholarships; player bonuses to be based on performance and fan interaction, and players would earn a year's scholarship in post-secondary education for each season of play.[20] Players are expected to get three-year, non-guaranteed contracts worth $250,000 plus health insurance with an escape clause to go to the NFL.[18] The three-year contract is believed to be purposely targeting the XFL to prevent second-tier professional players from signing with the XFL if they play in the AAF in 2019.[24] For the fans, in addition to a fantasy league built into mobile broadcasts, low ticket prices (each team will have a $35/game sideline seat option) and inexpensive food are planned.[20] . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) New Football League Requires Players To Stand For Anthem Former Minnesota Viking Jared Allen is an early investor in a new spring football league, the Alliance of American Football (AAF). It will have certain differences from the NFL, among them, a “requirement” for players to stand for the national anthem while on the field. The new league was co-founded by Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol, son of the longtime television executive, Dick. Besides being an investor, Allen is listed as a Player Relations Executive. In a recent interview in Sports Illustrated, Allen stated that players on the field would be required to stand The new league was co-founded by Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol, son of the longtime television executive, Dick.
