I didn't want to keep bumping the Mike Riley thread in the Husker Football section, so I'm starting this thread to discuss the AAF itself.

This league was started by Charlie Ebersol, son of Dick Ebersol. Dick will be on the Board of Directors. Bill Polian will be "Head of Football" along with being a co-founder of the league. Troy Polamalu will be the Head of Player Relations. Other names in the head office include Hines Ward, Jared Allen, and Justin Tuck.
Rules:
50-man rosters with some selected by a territorial draft.
No TV timeouts and 60% fewer commercials. They are aiming for a game length of 150 minutes.
Only 2-point conversions, no extra point kicks.
No kickoffs. Offenses start on their own 25-yard line. In lieu of an onside kick, the "kicking team" can attempt one scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line but must gain a first down (10 yards as per usual).
30 second play clock.
Only replays used will be on coaches challenges. Each team gets 2 per game.
Someone asked about Tim Lewis. His career has mostly been as a position coach in the NFL with several teams. He was also the D-coordinator for the Steelers (2000-03) and the Giants (2004-06).
