RIPPA Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Federal regulators approved the XFL/USFL merger and as part of that process it was revealed that the new combined league will start its season on March 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Apparently these will be the franchises XFL will retain 4 teams: Arlington Renegades DC Defenders San Antonio Brahmas St Louis BattleHawks USFL will retain 4 teams: Birmingham Stallions Houston Gamblers Memphis Showboats Michigan Panthers In order of amount of bitching I have seen from the few people that care No Roughnecks 3 teams in Texas No Sea Dragons Apparently the big hang up that had delayed the merger was the XFL wanted the split to be 5 XFL teams/3 USFL teams (basically they wanted the Roughnecks over the Gamblers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Wonder how the naming conventions go. If XFL is the brand name ala NFL, would the conferences be the XFC and the.... UFC lol. Have they mentioned anything about the merged companies name yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 was hoping more teams would survive the USXFL merger well, back into "wake me when they relaunch the Oakland Invaders" mode it is, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 RIP XFL. i always knew that it would have some sort of reappearance after the 2001 season. didn't bank on a moderately-successful season that got ground to a fine powder by a worldwide pandemic. i'll always hold fond memories of that inaugural Vince season. i had a lot of fun watching sub-par football. Hell, i have the entire season on DVDs. i honestly don't know why the new Arena Football League doesn't just throw in with these guys. It's not like they have a real chance of huge success either way. 2024 marks their third attempt at a launch, with varying degrees of staying power.
