From their "news release":
How... ABAish...
I'm setting the odds that either league will play a single game at 20-1.
The odds that they'll be sued for misappropriating the WIFL logo (which is still copyrighted, even if the league is dead)... much higher.
Wow. This seems so... organized. You can join a league 4 weeks before the playoffs and participate in them?

It wasn't back for long. From the UFTA website:
But Jim Chambers isn't done yet...
http://uftamerica.net/nationalchampionship.html
The goal is, apparently, to have a 64-team national minor-league football championship tournament leading to a championship game in December 2009.
One thing that worries me about this... now I realize that anyone can link to anything, but Jim Terry's PG13football.com links to UFTAmerica.com. I'm not saying ANYTHING here. Nope, not at all.
The UFTA WILL OPERATE THE UFTA SPORTS NETWORK IN 2009. WE HAVE CANCELLED OUR PLANS TO OPERATE THE WIFL AND THE CFLA IN 2009.
But Jim Chambers isn't done yet...

(1) The UFTA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP will be owned and operated by 200 minor league team owners. Each minor league team owner will own one-half of one percent of the UFTA JOINT VENTURE.
(2) The cost of a one-half percent interest in the UFTA JOINT VENTURE is $500 at the present time, and this may be paid in monthly payments.
