Starting and Operating Leagues and Their Franchises
Starting a Near NFL-Quality Football League, to Begin in 2014
In 2009-2010, I worked for the UFL, and in 2011-2012, I independently sought investors for new teams (found a dozen interested but the UFL did not talk to them). April 2013, I accepted the challenge and contributions from others regarding how to succeed to find investors to form a new league, and in October 2013 I developed and posted these one page proposals on Starting the Enterprise plus expanded proposals on Operating the Enterprise. For details of the actions that led to attempting this new league, see Background: The Genesis of this New League.
