Definitely not a player pipeline that I would have ever anticipated but it makes sense. Come play indoor ball with us and if you work hard enough and show off what you have, you will have a chance at making a good income playing traditional football.

Not really a good farm system though if that's the attempt.

I could be wrong but I think it’s more about directing the guys who didn’t get to a showcase somewhere they can be seen by the league also ig they’re gonna share resources with the IFL as far as scouting goes so maybe that’s a part of why they wanted to do it idk

Not official from XFL

But Reid on The_Markcast had salaries wayyyy off on IFL saying $37.4k a year vs $50k for XFL.

Nope, IFL is more like $200-250 a game and that's $3.7k a season. No player s/b prevented from leaving arena/indoor for USFL/XFL/CFL as USFL/XFL will allow for players moving up to NFL.

Ya I think IFL views it as a good marketing opportunity. The only part of it I don’t really like is that after the season players that moved up the xfl have to finish out the IFL contract and play in that

You could always have the Martavis Bryant thing, although that was in reverse: he was to start in the IFL then leave for the CFL. He left the Mass Pirates after a game or two then never reported to camp with the Argos--was that a thing with all these Steeler WRs from back in the mid 2010s, they all got it from AB?

The XFL announced an official partnership with the IFL today:

https://www.xfl.com/xfl-latest-news/xfl ... artnership

The gist: Players released from the XFL will have a pathway into the IFL. The leagues will conduct joint tryouts and exchange game film.

I didn't check social media, but the reaction probably is "whatever. When are team names going to be announced!"

That's probably the reaction on Twitter, which I do not have because of its toxicity.
