And then there was one. Spring league, that is.
The XFL and USFL are merging, per multiple reports. The deal isn’t done, but it’s close.
Obviously, there will be many questions. Who owns the equity? Who televises the games?
How many teams will be in the combined league? Will they play in home markets or hubs?
Who will run the combined league? Which executives will stay, which ones will go?
Most importantly, what will it be called?
The XFL? The USFL? The USXFL? The SUXFL? (I like the last one.)
In 2023, both leagues competed, with a few weeks of overlap. The XFL started one week after the Super Bowl, and the USFL started in April.
The XFL, the 2023 season represented the third crack at making it go. The USFL returned after multiple decades of going dark in 2022.
