UFL Shutters Three Franchises
The USFL and the XFL merged to form the UFL and pruned some of their teams along the way. The cuts now continue with three more UFL franchises closing shop. The league is shuttering the Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers, and San Antonio Brahmas, per the Sports Business Journal.
The UFL has a new investor, so changes are afoot. With those franchises shutting down, they are opening in more cities to backfill. Columbus, OH, has already been announced, but others are rumored to be Louisville, KY, Orlando, FL, or Boise, ID.

It was his late father’s birthday, so the cleats were made to honor him. Check out the video below.
