All American Football League

The All American Football League is a proposed professional American football league. The league, which combines a professional pay structure with the requirement that all players be college graduates, had originally been scheduled to start in the spring of 2007, but later postponed its launch to the spring of 2008, then 2009, and most recently 2011.

The All American Football League, scheduled to begin play in 2011, is a professional American football league premised on the rule that all of its players had to have a four-year university degree, as employees of the AAFL rather than of the franchises, with the league to pay each player an average compensation of approximately $100,000 to year-round player employees and $50,000 to season-only players to attract the best non-NFL players. The AAFL's inaugural draft took place on January 26, 2008, though it was effectively voided when the league canceled that season.
