United Football League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Football League operated between 1961 and 1964. It was primarily a Mid-Western league, drawing many quality players from the Big Ten conference. Though it provided the NFL with many talented players, it was a entertaining option during a time when (with lower player salaries) it could compete with other leagues. The league would fold, but many of its backers and players would find new franchises in the Continental Football League.
