Weekly Sports League and Franchise Report

November 28, 2011 - FOOTBALL
Independent Indoor Football Alliance: The IIFA no longer has the Houston-based Texas Pirates listed as one if its 2012 teams and now has only four teams-the Conroe Jaguars, DFW Texas, Florida Scorpions, and North Texas Crunch-listed for the 2012 season.
Indoor Championship Football League: After playing only two games, one of which was a forfeit loss, the ICFL's Virginia Cardinals folded and the league replaced them earlier this month with the Virginia Knights.
Continental Indoor Football League: The owner of the new Port Huron (MI) Patriots team in the CIFL has stated the league is working on possible new teams in the Michigan cities of Flint and Kalamazoo for the upcoming 2012 season. The league had previous teams called the Flint Phantoms for one season (2008) and the Kalamazoo Xplosion for two seasons (2007-08). The CIFL is reportedly considering a merger in 2013 with the American Professional Football League, a semi-pro indoor football league based mainly in the Midwest.
American Indoor Football: Two new teams called the Maryland Reapers of Laurel (MD) and the Virginia Badgers, which will be based in either Richmond or Fredericksburg, have been announced and plan to be part of an AIF East Division in 2012. The owner of the Virginia Badgers currently manages the Virginia Knights team in the semi-pro Indoor Championship Football League. Another new team called the Arizona Outlaws, based in Prescott Valley (AZ), has announced it will be part of a proposed five-team West Division in the 2012 AIF season. Prescott Valley had two previous unsuccessful indoor football teams called the Arizona Adrenaline-one in the 2008 American Indoor Football Association and another in the 2011 Indoor Football League. The league's previously announced Harrisburg (PA) Stampede team has signed a player development partnership with the Chambersburg (PA) Cardinals of the semi-pro Gridiron Developmental Football League.
Lingerie Football League: The women's indoor LFL is looking at several markets for possible 2012-13 expansion in the United States. Nashville appears to be the frontrunner in the Eastern Conference with Boston, Detroit, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh under consideration. The LFL is also considering San Jose, San Antonio, Phoenix, Houston, and Kansas City for possible Western Conference teams.
Independent Women's Football League: The IWFL has added a new team called the Rockford (IL) Riveters for its 2012 spring-summer season.
Women's Football Alliance: The WFA has added new teams called the Tacoma Trauma and the Tallahassee Jewels for its 2012 spring-summer season.
