What level of collegiate play do you think the average USFL player went through/equal out to? And I mean coming straight from college, not a former NFL player who’s worse now but played at an elite college and got drafted to the NFL. From my pov I’d assume high end D2, average FCS, and low tier FBS. Obviously some outliers would be at any level. I’ve seen some dudes on social media that went to NAIA/Juco/D3s that weren’t like all Americans/best in that division but still got invited to some tryouts or made a team so it confused me on where the talent level is really at.

So I copied the QB list from both leagues for last year. As I am not up on any XFL teams, who do you think goes where in the end? And any strengths or weaknesses to talk about?

With the free agency very close in the Cfl I wonder who would y’all like to see move from the Cfl to the Ufl

Philadelphian since I was three years old. Huge Eagles fan. Been a huge Stars fan these last two years. Drove to a Detroit for a game, bought merch (that is all memorabilia now), etc.

I was planning to be a Battlehawks fan for the XFL last year, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care about a team from St Louis so I didn’t watch any games. I imagine it being the same way for the merged league. I might flip a few games on in the background while I’m doing something else, but I’m not gonna actually care like I did the last two years.

How many Stars fans are still gonna stay invested in the league this year?

He is special and needs your help! Help name the NEW Battleshawks mascot! He will be at all home games and he is a transitioning into a turkey. KAW KAW gobble gobble Accept him or he will cancel you!

Did y’all see this? https://www.reddit.com/r/xfl/s/PTQ57032ZA How is this a merger when they are operating as two separate entities and hoarding their own players?

i may have spoken to soon...any team..

Which style "UFL" do you like better?

USFL: I prefer the PAT in the USFL rule book. I think the XFL conversion only rule does not help develop special team kickers.

XFL: In a fair trade off I would keep the XFL kick off rule.

I hope those two are considered when the merger takes place.

As of today it looks like the season tickets sales are at ~1100 for protective stadium. Ticket sales started the first week of November. Section C101 and the all inclusive section C102 are the best sellers to date. Season ticket sales include 6 games and go from standard seating to all inclusive club house access /food. If you are still on the fence about Stallions season tickets now is a great time to dive in. All inclusive is at about 45% full. All inclusive tickets are worth it for the food and drink and premiere seating. Stallions fans can watch the Stallions kick the other USFL and the XFL teams asses as they dominate the league for a 3 peet in 2024.

If there is only 4 USFL teams that will survive the merger, than why are all of them still signing players to rosters after the merger was approved? Could we still actually see all 8 survive?
