Been told XFL execs have tied their future business dealings with the CFL with the name Major League Football -
I have no inside source if its been trademarked or what the league will detail but I have been informed that MLF will be the umbrella of what the CFL will be part of.
I can guess possibly the CFL will remain as a league similar to XFL or a Mexican or German league and play under the umbrella of MLF...... that is my guess.
In January 2020,CEO Frank Murtha stated that the MLFB is “a developmental showcase league, with games in May and June in six midsize cities - Little Rock, Arkansas; Norfolk, Virginia; Canton, Ohio; and so on - that aren’t served by the NFL or, for that matter, Major League Baseball” and said that the annual operating budget will be in the “ballpark of $30 million” as a single entity. The centralized all-players training camp was stated to be scheduled for April in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, where the league is headquartered.[25] These tryouts did not take place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and MLFB then announced plans for tryouts and camps in Lakewood Ranch for December 2020 through March 2021 for a 2021 season.[26] However, these tryouts also did not take place and the league again postponed its demonstration season until summer of 2021
a CFL exec. XFL brand might not be possible for them to use. Spoke with someone involved with the XFL and they likely will change name w/ CFL once signed.
Been also told that talks are so far ahead that we could have a major announcement a few weeks into the CFL season.
I recalled something like that. Through I wish sometimes threads like these get locked instead of deleted.
If it’s accurate then the truth will come out and we can reference it either way.
I recalled during one if his last threads me mentioned the league will definitely start in late August/early September and they have financial backers. This was weeks before the CFL-XFL talks were announced and it came out of nowhere so who knows.
For the record, I’m not a fan of MLF as the name. It’s already in use though they’ve been trying to launch for years.
And is it just me or
if one of the members who has been here for 15 years or so were to post the same thing…other members would be demanding a link or some kind of proof
Yet when its the first post, everyone is Really? WOW, you must be real important to know that! I am so impressed!!!
Well, at least he answered, in a fashion. We’ve got members here who either routinely ignore requests for links, or respond with insults (green vs. everyman being the latest example).
