With the new football league launching last weekend, the Alliance of American Football (AAF), we set out to #1 learn more about the league and #2 figure out which CAA team has the most players currently in the AAF.

Some interesting tidbits below -- especially on how the AAF is different from the NFL.

Check it out, the Dukes are well represented. Also curious to hear how people thought opening weekend went for the AAF!

Nice write-up - very informative and concise.

Go Apollos?!

Apollos lit up Atlanta 40-6 in week one under Coach Spurrier.

Ish looking good, currently the #2 receiver in AAF. Wonder how many guys get promoted to the NFL this year.

Nice write up - just a heads up though, update the JMU logo...

I guess it really depends on how good and consistent certain players become. If Ish continues to be one of the top receivers in the AAF, I would think somebody in the NFL would come knocking. I would love to see him get that chance.
Until then, he just needs to keep playing well.

2.9M viewership on CBS the first two games. Two of the games were north of 20k crowds.

Not surprising that the one city that has an NFL team in it drew the weakest crowd. It'll be better attendance in markets that don't have direct pro football competition.

Surprised Birmingham couldn't attract more. It's the second largest metro area in the country without a major pro-sports team. VA Beach/Norfolk is the biggest without one.
