The XFL and United States Football League sent out press releases Thursday announcing their intentions to merge into one spring league.
“The new league will establish best-in-class operations atop the foundation built over the USFL and XFL’s most recent seasons, cementing the future of professional spring football, and further enhance the development of its players, coaches, and staff,” the USFL release said.
“We are extremely proud of what we have built over the past two seasons. We have shown that the professional spring football model can work – and, in many ways, have done what many football and business minds thought was impossible.”
