http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_American_Football_League
The All American Football League, scheduled to begin play in April 2008, is a professional American football league in which all players must possess a four-year university degree. The players will be employees of the AAFL rather than of the franchises, and the league will pay each player an average compensation of approximately $100,000 to attract the best non-NFL talent.
For its first season in 2008, the AAFL has six franchises. Although there is no indication that nicknames would be avoided, as of November 1, 2007, the teams continue to be referred to as "Team Florida", "Team Texas", etc. The teams are:
* Alabama ( Birmingham, Legion Field) which has signed 3 former Crimson Tide players (Reggie Myles, Alonzo Ephraim, and Marcus Spencer) and one from Auburn (Kendall Mack).
* Arkansas (Little Rock, War Memorial Stadium) which has signed 4 former Razorback stars (including Clint Stoerner and Anthony Lucas
* Florida (Gainesville, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium) which has signed 9 former Gators (including 2006 quarterback Chris Leak, and head coach Shane Matthews. The home opener will be played at Jacksonville and the final home game will be at Tampa.
* Michigan (Detroit, Ford Field), which has signed 24 players from Michigan, Michigan State, and other colleges.
* Tennessee (Knoxville, Neyland Stadium)
