The Athletic reports the AAF was forced to look for fresh investment last week to avoid the prospect of missing payroll. Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Tom Dundon stepped in to provide a $250 million commitment. Dundon will now be named the league's new chairman.

That's a hell of a shortfall in Week 2. Also can't believe someone would sink $250 million into it on the heels of that news.

The AAF missed payroll in Week 1. They told agents that it was a glitch with switching to a new administrator. They told players would be paid by today the latest.
this is really bad.

They had to know they were going to lose money for the first couple of years minimum right?
They knew they wouldnt have positive cash flow right off the bat right?
