Sure, we'll bite... After San Antonio said "Thanks, but no thanks," since they didn't want anyone to compete with their upstart college program at Texas-San Antonio, United Football League Commissioner Michael Huyghue and new Omaha head coach Jeff Jagodzinski are now in the heartland selling their brand of pro football...
Here's the in-depth coverage JJ Davis and the folks at KPTM/Fox42 gave the announcement in Omaha...
“Expansion is an exciting time for a sports league and we are excited to be here in a new UFL city that we believe will embrace an exciting and high-quality product on the field at an affordable price,” said UFL Commissioner Huyghue. “Omaha fits the ideal UFL model of having a passionate fan base that we believe deserves a professional football team.”
After year one, the UFL is looking for one more city to expand in to for year two. The San Francisco franchise relocated to Sacramento. The New York franchise relocated to Hartford. Vegas and Orlando are still in Vegas and Orlando.
Some of Year One was unwatchable. Some of it wasn't.
But this is football creating on the fly...
It will be interesting to see if this case study works...
