AAF majority owner could fold league without support from NFLPA
A month after investing $250 million into the league, new Alliance of American Football majority owner Tom Dundon says the start-up is in danger of folding.
Dundon told USA Today Sports' Kevin Allen and Mike Jones that the AAF desperately needs the co-operation of the NFL and its players association to continue.
"If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league," Dundon said. "We are looking at our options, one of which is discontinuing the league."
One players' union official said it would violate the terms of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement if active players are lent to the AAF.
Dundon expects to reach a decision in the next two days.
The AAF just wrapped up Week 7 of a 10-week inaugural season. The championship game is scheduled to take place in April at one of the Dallas Cowboys' facilities.
