I'm surprised to hear this rumor. Daytona's owners helped prop up Columbus last year. To take the risk of starting up a second franchise, especially when the transfer of the club to the new owners wasn't a sure thing, you would think they are doing pretty good financially with their own team.

I'd be willing to make a few pesos. Sign me up! Coming soon . . . the Mexico City Fightiñ' Tildes!

I really, really hope no one with $5mil is stupid enough to buy an NIFL team.

They already run Montgomery and Gulf Coast. This isn't new.

The CIFL seemed to have the same small-town mindset the APFL has when the GLIFL started. Teams in places like Marion, OH and Bethlehem, PA. Now they have teams in Chicago and Milwaukee so they have pretty much lost that mindset. In minor league sports, their are three types of markets. There's "...

[quote=""phydeaux72""]So the WIFL let a team join the league that's not financially stable? Hmm, that's interesting. I just assumed that financial stability was one of the WIFL's requirements for joining the league.[/quote] Directly from the league press release: “We’re pleased t...
