Why is there no national media news on the EFL? Nothing in the national media, nothing on the net. The same reason why there's very little news on the SFL or most of the indoor leagues. If it's not major, it generally doesn't get coverage outside local news. The UFL's fall from grace shows that. When it had backers like Cuban during its genesis, it was covered. It could even get a TV deal. It got covered in '10 when it had the Jeff Garcia-Daunte Culpepper showdown between Omaha and Sacto. But now, peanuts. A league like the SFL will get a little bit of coverage when it starts playing. The same goes with the EFL. Unless they want to take on the NFL right away (which is generally a disaster), you will get bupkus in the news.

Besides, leagues come and go, many of which die without even playing a game. More coverage will come if and when they actually take the field. Out of curiosity, where did the $350 per game figure come from? Do we have an ELF insider on here? Precisely why this forum was started in the first place. Cuz the SFL actually played real live games. These othe leagues are still just fantasies until their jerseys get some mud on them.....

Yes, but to be fair, we had to work hard to find prove that they weren't being played on a vibrating football game in someone's basement!

Broncofan, that's always been how I visualized Mike Dwyer's New USFL! lol

The EFL has added Team Louisiana, boasting 13 franchises for the 2012 season. The season has been moved back from the first of March to the end of March.

The irony that his misconduct involved money and a sinkhole is just too much! So he wouldn't cough up the money for a sinkhole....sounds like he could've been a UFL team owner lol. Stories like this just reinforce my not getting excited about any league that hasn't fielded teams yet. Gonna focus my attention on the UFL and SFL this year and hope both leagues come back for 2012. Everyone else? Meh, not so much.

There is one or two guys running the whole show, I feel you need a team to start a new league like this. And plus there is never any news other than a half written sentence.

The SFL last year was designed with the fan in last place. Hopefully, they realize there are people who might be interested if they gave us any information.

My point was the EFL looks sketchier day by day so I'm not gonna get excited about anything it puts out information-wise.

And to be fair, the EFL never mentions the fan at all. I do really wonder sometimes how these guys think they're going to make any money.
