The Alliance of American Football will suspend all football operations Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Michael Rothstein, confirming multiple reports.

The league will hold a call with all players and staff at 1 p.m. ET Tuesday afternoon, the source said.

And with all the success of secondary football leagues over the years...no one could have seen this coming.

I wonder if this bodes well, or is a bad omen for the new XFL next season.  At the very least, I think they will have much better funding with Mr. Vince.

Pretty much everything that man turns to gold but I just don't see this lasting either ........ unless they script the games and have some awesome story lines.

People love their football.....if they do it right there is a chance it could succeed in the Spring.....kind of like the USFL did back in the day, until Mr. Trumps ego thought it was a good idea to go head to head with the NFL and college football.

USFL would have still died...only like 2 teams were making were breaking even. When comes to pro football very few will watch an inferior product to the nfl.

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
