Brett Bouchy, the owner of the Arena Football League's Arizona Rattlers, told the Orlando Sentinel that the league is set to declare bankruptcy and fold. The league has not yet made an announcement. But comments second those by Tampa Bay Storm owner Jim Borghesi that the league was shutting down. "It's just unfortunate we're in this situation," Bouchy told the Sentinel. "Everyone knows myself and Arizona fought hard to avoid this day. The league was divided into two groups and factions. You had one group of committed owners who contributed capital and willing to do whatever it took to bring the league back in 2010 I have been in that group the entire time. Then there was another group that just wasn't willing to make the investment. We could never get a consensus." Source: USA Today
Damn it was a good time to break up the off season..... no more War on I-4 between the Storm and the Predators.
The whole reason that they were able to stick around as long as they did is because they did not try to. XFL. They made their game different and played it at different time of the year. Also they never went after NFL players like some other leagues did, cough USFL.
