AAF to suspend operations, report says
Travis Durkee
2 hrs ago The short, strange ride that’s been the Alliance of American Football is on the brink of running out of steam.
According to a report from ProFootballTalk, the AAF will suspend its operations Tuesday, though it's not folding entirely ... yet.
Majority investor Tom Dundon, who put $250 million into the league in February, has been unsure if the project would extend into the weekend.
“It’s pretty fluid. It’s day to day, I would say,†Dundon told SportsBusiness Daily on Monday, noting he would know more later in the week.
The original concept was for the AAF to be a sort of farm system for the NFL, much like minor-league baseball is to MLB. But the NFL Players' Association hasn’t granted the AAF permission to use third- and fourth-string NFL players, most of whom never see action in NFL games.
