USFL - XFL Report

From the Detroit news link above -

Joining the Panthers in the new league will be the USFL's teams in Birmingham (which won both the 2022 and 2023 titles), Houston (another legacy team) and Memphis (only in the league in 2023). The XFL will contribute the Arlington Renegades (the Texas squad which won that league's 2023 title), the DC Defenders (the 2023 runners-up), the San Antonio Brahmas and the St. Louis BattleHawks.

Looks like the Breakers, the team with the best uniforms, won't be joining in 2024.

USFL -
Birmingham
Michigan
Memphis
Houston

XFL -
Arlington
San Antonio
St Louis
DC

I’ve enjoyed the USFL, but this seems to be a sign that both it and the XFL are dying.

the NFL needs to put money into this to develop players, especially quarterbacks

Dang I loved the Breakers name and uniforms. Was looking forward to seeing how they painted the Superdome field for them.

Not surprising, given that no one showed up in New Orleans for Breaker games.

The USFL teams never had a chance to prove their fans could support them at an adequate level.

Omaha needs a team. They supported their “Spring League” team better than I’ve seen from any minor league football.

Fact is, we need a strong minor league. After Euro league failed and area league diminished, there was nothing. Then 4 leagues tried to launch at the same time. Merger was definitely needed.
