There's an article with Ebersol that talks about them having 1100 employees and needing 750 million to get through 6 seasons.

Man with too much money is happy to burn $70M on ultra-long-shot get-richer-quick gambit to accrue much too much money and perhaps some fame.

Plan falls apart, Man says oh well, shut it down, I'm tired of this toy. Moves on to next investment venture. What he lost upfront will become write offs next year.

Everyone else involved in the teams, their communities, the sponsors, etc are hosed with no recourse.

I think the plan was Dundon or some other fat cat was always suppose to buy in.

How can the dumbest projects in Silicon Valley get endless injections of cash, but we can't have a football league that completes one whole season? The next person to launch a league needs to be a tech bro.

Congratulations AAF Champion Apollos

But no, this sucks. I actually really enjoyed watching the league play out and I was really hoping it would become a regular thing to expect during the NFL/NCAAFB offseason.

I crown thee, Arizona Hotshots, as AAF Interim Champeens. They finished 1st in the toughest division in AAF history AND were the only team to beat the Apollo's.

Johnny Football is having a lovely week. Imagine severing ties with the CFL, joining the AAF, getting a concussion the 2nd game you play in that league, losing the game in part due to poor officiating, and then having the entire league shut down operations less than a week later.
