XFL/USFL merger official announcement is today. They are renaming to the United Football League and will push out the start of the season to March 30.
Here are the teams:
From the XFL
Arlington Renegades
DC Defenders
San Antonio Brahmas
St Louis BattleHawks
From the USFL:
Birmingham Stallions
Houston Gamblers
Memphis Showboats
Michigan Panthers
Seems like a terrible idea to abandon the XFL name.
