That didnt take long did it?
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports the Alliance of American Football will suspend all football operations on Tuesday.
According to Florio, the league is not yet folding, but that looks like the only possible outcome. Earlier this week, majority owner Tom Dundon said the league would have to consider shuttering if the NFL Players Association refused to allow younger players on NFL rosters to play in the AAF. "If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league," Dundon said. A source within the NFLPA told USA Today that allowing the AAF to use NFL players would violate the terms of the CBA and increase the safety risk. The AAF still had two weeks left in their inaugural and seemingly final regular season.
