>> The official combination of the XFL and the USFL will be called the United Football League and/or the UFL. As previously announced, the new spring league will start playing on March 30.

The first game will pit the respective XFL and USFL champions against each other — the Arlington Renegades and the Birmingham Stallions.

The four USFL teams that will survive have been identified. They are the Stallions, the Michigan Panthers, the Houston Gamblers, and the Memphis Showboats.

Arlington clearly will survive the dissolution of the XFL. The remaining XFL teams to land in the UFL have not been identified.

The games will be televised by Fox, FS1, ABC, and ESPN. <<

PFT defacto promoting for UFL continues...

>> It took a while for the merger between the XFL and USFL to make progress toward their first combined season. Suddenly, the UFL is moving quickly.

The combined league was officially announced on Sunday. On Friday, the UFL will hold its dispersal draft.

Each of the eight holdover teams from the two leagues will be permitted to protect up to 42 players, while also selecting up to 20 players from the rosters of the eight teams that won’t be surviving the merger.

A second dispersal draft of players not protected or selected on Friday will happen on January 15. <<
