When my first indoor football team folded, I too was a bitter old hag. But after two more, and maybe a fourth, I guess you just become jaded...

I'll offer a moment of silence for your suffering.

My doctor told me yesterday that all of this wasn't worth an ulcer, so I let go and move on.

What would people hope to accomplish in a lawsuit. Most of these owners don't have any money in the first place. That's why they can't pay their players or vendors.
Like the great lawyer Steve Dallas said in Bloom County: "Rule 1 of suing, never sue the poor."

If owners are having trouble paying their players, coaches, venues, and vendors then they have know business operating a team. If a league allows this of their teams then that league does not deserve to operate.

I would hope the NIFL is dimantled. If someone with integrity, values, and morals is able to come in and take over that's great.

I don't believe in the just be happy you've got it mentality. If it can't be done right it shouldn't be done at all.

AMEN TO THAT!!!

I think anyone thinking about starting a league should be required to read the "$3 Dollar League".

It's also the 30th anniversary of the dying of the WFL in 1975. Look at how the WFL operated and then take a look at the morons in the charge of the NIFL. Both leagues had their fair share of crooks in charge, no upstart financing, revenue sharing promises that never materialized, and teams folding in midseason. The similarities are astounding.

If you don't learn your history you're destined to repeat it.

Sounds familiar?

I don't believe racketeering activity (which includes poor financing, etc.) falls under the protection of bankruptcy law.

Those indoor football owners are liable for the losses incurred and stand to lose whatever house, property, car, or whatever they have as collateral damages.

If it were that easy you would see more people starting their own businesses (not necessarily sports) because there would be no risk for making good on a business that went under. In the IT world, a bankrupt business owner I know is paying dearly for this failed venture.

I think in that case, you almost have a stronger criminal case than civil. If there is intentional fraud, the house, the car and any other assests are probably put in other people's names before it starts and any cash is in an off-shore bank account.
I know of a pro soccer team set up in the late 70s that (according to one of the players) was set up to launder mob money (it was in Columbus, Ohio. It lasted like one or two seasons, won the league title and promptly folded).
I think with most of these NIFL teams, it's more a case of people thinking they can put up just enough seed money to start the year, thinking that once ticket sales and advertising money comes in, they will have enough to operate the team — more a lack of business acumen and experience.
Then they are too delusional or in too much denial to admit they are in over their heads.
As for the current front office management of the NIFL, it's almost a pyramid scheme — just trying to get new franchise fees to cover itself after teams get in trouble or fold.

Are you speaking of this planet? The reason bankruptcy laws exist is to permit a sinking business, or individual to get out from under without losing everything including their shirt and pants.

Just over two million people filed for bankruptcy in 2004, thirty four thousand plus businesses among them. I haven't heard that all, most or even some of them are now walking the streets shoeless, holding out a tin cup to strangers asking for a donation.

Personally, I think the bankruptcy laws should be done away with, or greatly changed, but that's just an opinion. My point is that ranting on and on about your little corner of the world won't change reality one bit.

You can't get money from people who don't have it. It's that simple. Tell me you understand that simple fact, please.
