Maine is returning to the National Arena League, which is good for the league.
However, there are still rumors about the NAL and CIF going into a partnership, which aren't as good.

Maine is returning to the National Arena League, which is good for the league. However, there are still rumors about the NAL and CIF going into a partnership, which aren't as good. From what I've read, it's either gonna be interleague play next season with a merger in 2021, or they're gonna merge outright this year. Which is stupid, because one of the main reasons they didn't merge with the IFL was travel cost expenses (plus everyone hates Arizona). And now they're like, "Let's merge with a league on the East Coast, even though that's probably more travel expense than what the IFL would be." Iceberg, dead ahead.....RAMMING SPEED!!! Also, hearing that there's gonna be a big announcement from the IFL meetings that are going on right now fairly soon. Although one of the worst kept secrets is that the Spokane Shock are looking to make a return, this time to the IFL.

And the CIF and NAL announced their agreement for 2020.
I'll go with "2 Birds, One Stone" for 1000, Alex.

Want more insanity and/or nonsense?
They want to resurrect af2, but unaffiliated with the Arena Football League. And already earmarked 7 markets, with the West Virginia Roughriders & possibly the Massachusetts Pirates (contrary to reports) signed on.

And according to reports, the CIF/NAL merger/partnership/marriage is dead. Let's remember all the fun times the partnership provided like... that thing. And, you know, that other time. For context, the Massachusetts Pirates left the NAL due to the partnership between that league and the CIF, but scheduling with the NAL has the Pirates back.

And it sounds like West Virginia might be in the NAL, but the minority owner was just arrested for putting hits on people, according to rumors.

And from what I've heard, the National Arena League is dead.
The only two teams committed for 2020 are the Jacksonville Sharks and the Columbus Lions.

Man....this sucks Not necessarily. Another report has 5 teams (excluding the unwanted NY Streets & the previously announced Maine), putting the NAL in an awkward spot.

The AFL has shut down operations in its 6 locations. No word if they're suspending operations yet.
This could be the end...

Would love the Empire to jump ship to another league but I don't see it happening.

We're just closing the physical locations of the teams, and everything will be done out of our headquarters!" So it's a travel league, like the Globetrotters. I don't see this ending well.

Their business plan has been shiite since they tried expanding into big cities after the AFL explosion in the late 90s. With few exceptions, big cities with major sports don't support it. It's a perfect sport for medium cities and metro areas. That's why Albany supports it, that and the history with the Firebirds. There ain't shit else to do here! But alas, here we are again.
