The Latest on the future of the Alliance of American Football (all times EDT):
5:15 p.m.
Alliance of American Football co-founder Bill Polian says he’s been told football operations have been suspended and that virtually everyone involved will be terminated within 24 to 48 hours. He declined to say who told him that.
He says the only people to be retained will be equipment managers and others closing facilities.
Polian says he is “extremely disappointed.”
He said: “We were headed to a tremendous run of success, beginning with Saturday’s game leading into (the NCAA Tournament) on CBS. Our league on the field has prospered and grown. The football’s gotten better, and that’s a tremendous tribute to the coaches and players and GMs and front office staff and all the other people who have done a phenomenal job.”
Asked why the league was shutting down, Polian said he’s heard that “only that it’s about the money. That’s all.”
