USFL will restart next March; not as a competitor to NFL but as an ally http://www.thenewusfl.com/ USFL is making a comeback, but unlike last time, it's not going to serve as a direct competitor to the NFL. This time, those in charge of running it want to make it more of a developmental league that will begin next March. In that way, the USFL will compete somewhat with the UFL -- which perpetually seems on the verge of shutting down anyway. to the AP, the cities that are being considered for USFL franchises are: Portland, Ore.; Salt Lake City; San Antonio or Austin, Texas; Columbus or Akron, Ohio; Oklahoma City; Omaha, Neb.; Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Memphis, Tenn. “These are cities with underutilized facilities at that time of year,” Cuadra said http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/e...rch-not-as-a-competitor-to-nfl-but-as-an-ally
