Players Drafted to the Alliance of American Football

[ST_Lawson]

Not sure if anyone cares, but the newly formed AAF has drafted their first 100 players, some of which are former FCS guys.
Here's the full list: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ac0fad33c3a53e83eaa1e6a/t/5b6882a688251b84e583696b/1533575847019/FIRST-100-Players.pdf

There's more FCS guys here, but just a quick scan, names I recognize include:
Marshaun Coprich, RB from Illinois State -> Birmingham
Alejandro Bennifield, QB from Chattanooga -> Memphis
Ryan McKinley, DB from Montana -> Memphis
Trey Dempsey, DB from North Dakota State -> Orlando

It remains to be seen whether the AAF can sustain a viable league, but they do have some big names behind it. Head Coaches include Mike Singletary (Memphis), Steve Spurrier (Orlando), Brad Childress (Atlanta), Rick Neuheisel (Phoenix), Dennis Erickson (Salt Lake), Mike Riley (San Antonio), Mike Martz (San Diego).

Sounds like the league will launch February 9th, 2019 (Saturday after the Super Bowl).

Being that teams can only draft regional college kids - an attempt to draw fan interest by keeping "known" names in the area for home fans to know and cheer for - it will be interesting to see how players get divided and how it works

The 8 teams are
Orlando
Atlanta
Memphis
San Antonio
Salt Lake City
Phoenix
San Diego

There is zero representation in the NE, NW or MW. If Memphis is their idea of representing the B10/Northern B12/OVC/MVFC then they are poorly planned. Same with SLC covering the MWC and northern Pac12

Our offensive center from last year is supposed to get picked up according to his father who I talked to last weekend. Austin Kuenert

Do they have a schedule out yet?

Do they have a schedule out yet?

Not that I've seen, although they've been rolling out info periodically over the last few months.
One page on their site says "...will debut on Feb. 9, 2019, a week after Super Bowl LIII".

They do now...

Sounds like the plan is to space the games out so that you don't have any going on at the same time. That way a person could watch all the games if they wanted to. Also TV deal with CBS...airing on CBS and CBS Sports.
