UFL
The United Football League (UFL) was a professional American football league that began play in October 2009. The small league, which never had more than five teams playing at one time, played most of its games in markets where the National Football League (NFL) had no current presence. Unlike most alternative professional football leagues since the 1980s, the UFL played all of its games in the traditional fall season. On October 20, 2012, four weeks into the season, continued financial shortfalls and dramatically reduced attendances across all four markets, the UFL ceased operations for the remainder of the 2012 season.
