The United Football League in 2015: What could it look like?

Very few professional football leagues not named the National Football League or Canadian Football League get to see six years old.

No one knows what the odds are for the United Football League getting to that milestone. But it’s fun to speculate about what the UFL could look like by 2015.

UFLA Year in Review: Why the UFL Might Last

On Christmas night, I was watching the ESPN “30 for 30” documentary on the United States Football League (for the third time), and it hit me.

The United Football League has an extremely good chance to accomplish what the USFL never could – lasting non-National Football League professional football success.

A Week in Vegas: The Guts and Glory of the United Football League

The first ever United Football League championship week did not have the glitz and the glamour of the Super Bowl. Playboy and ESPN were not hosting bashes.
