Team Alabama officials unaware of reported plan to postpone first season of All American Football League
Posted by Birmingham News March 06, 2008 8:42 AM
Officials of Team Alabama, the Birmingham-based franchise in the All American Football League, say they've been left in the dark about reported plans of the league to postpone the first season -- or fold altogether.
The Florida Times-Union reported this morning, quoting anonymous sources, that the league would fold because of financial problems.
"Until we're told something, we're operating,'' said Team Alabama media relations director Eunice Elliot. ``It's business as usual and we plan to open the season April 19.''
The league, which held a draft in January, is struggling finding investors. Most of the financing is from Marcus Katz, the league founder and an entrepreneur out of San Diego.

A similar story was posted on the Tennessee team today. They don't seem to know what is going on.

So lets get out our scorecards: one third of the league doesn't even know if the league is in business or not, the other 4 teams haven't said anything. Goodbye, before they even hired anyone.
