Alliance of American Football's inability to secure cooperation from the
NFL Players' Association to use young players from NFL rosters has put
the AAF in danger of folding, Tom Dundon, the league's majority owner,
told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
"If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be
a development league," said Dundon, who invested $250 million into the
league in February. "We are looking at our options, one of which is
discontinuing the league."
The belief that using active NFL players and practice squad members for
the AAF would violate the terms of the CBA and the restrictions that
prevent teams from holding mandatory workouts and practices throughout
the off season.
Dundon said he is considering all options and expects to make a decision about the league's future over the next two days.
The AAF was hoping to get permission to use practice squad players,
particularly No. 3 quarterbacks and young linemen starting next season.
