Default new football league (chris leak)??

http://www.gatorsports.com/article/2.../1090/GATORS01

here are a few paragraphs:

But the former Florida quarterback who helped lead the Gators to the 2006 BCS title will return to Gainesville next spring as a quarterback for Florida's inaugural All-American Football League franchise.

Leak is currently working out in Orlando and looking forward to the AAFL season. Florida opens play April 12 against Alabama in Jacksonville and will play the first of three games at Florida Field on April 26 against Arkansas.

Though Leak said he's received no assurances from Matthews, it's expected he'll come into camp this March as Florida's projected starter. The league, which will play with college rules, is attempting to market its franchises with former in-state college starters. Joining Leak on the Florida roster are former Gators Fred Weary, Chris Doering, Willie Jackson and Travis McGriff.

ANYONE know anything about this league? sounds interesting, although not sure it'll be success. any TV contract (didn't notice)???.... is this a better option than canada or arena? (although canada precludes NFL and this doesn't seem to)

thanks in advance!!
