I think it'll be good for them to be accept being the Minor League for the NFL. If the NFL could pour more resources and assist in marketing, that could help bring more eyes to XFL/USFL

As a Dallas fan the talent can translate, Aubrey and Turpin are very good players who deserved NFL roster spots. There are more guys like them out there as well ...

The eight-team UFL will include five teams from the XFL: the D.C. Defenders (who will play home games at Audi Field), Arlington (Tex.) Renegades (Choctaw Stadium), Houston Roughnecks (home venue to be determined), San Antonio Brahmas (Alamodome) and the St. Louis Battlehawks (The Dome at America’s Center). Three teams will come from the USFL: the Birmingham (Ala.) Stallions (Protective Stadium), Memphis Showboats (Liberty Stadium) and Michigan Panthers (Ford Field), a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed.

This means the Orlando Guardians, Seattle Sea Dragons and Vegas Vipers of the XFL and the Houston Gamblers, New Jersey Generals, New Orleans Breakers, Philadelphia Stars and Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL will not be part of the UFL for the 2024 season. There is no official word yet regarding a dispersal draft of players who were under contract with those teams.

I’m assuming money/cost is the reason why they left out the other teams because I’m surprised they left out some of those markets.

I wouldn't be surprised if this shuts down after one season. There has been zero stability or profitability to suggest otherwise.

Technically the Houston Gamblers are part of it.

It'll be their guys, but the XFL Houston Renegades branding.

That sucks. I was in Houston when the original Gamblers were here in the 80s. I'd rather see that branding stick.

EDIT: Houston is the Roughnecks, not the Renegades.
