    Each AAF team is affiliated with 4 NFL teams.

    This makes perfect sense for a developmental league 1/4 the size of a parent league. Hopefully, it's the 1st step towards what I've been saying for years, the NFL needs to set up a farm system like MLB has.

    Can you provide a link that shows who is affiliated who?

    I can't find a link that lays it out specifically. Maybe Abe can help you there. I don't think they are formal partnerships so much as each team can draft from specific areas where certain NFL teams are. The details online are kinda hard to find.

    Just go to the wikipedia page for the teams and near the bottom it'll show the 4 NFL teams.

    I'm always careful about trusting anything Wikipedia say because there sources are of unknown quality, but at least this article link me to 1 that I do consider trustworthy:

    https://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/...rminghams.html

    Although the Wikipedia info did prove to be accurate, the system is a little more complicated. Although the AAF does apparently offically use the term "affiliated" to describe the relationship they have with the colleges in their region, as well as NFL & CFL clubs, I think the term "feeder colleges & clubs" (which is used to explain what is meant by affiliated in the article that I've link to) would be more accurate.

    "When a player is cut or he is not in the NFL or CFL, the first thing is we look for a college affiliation," Polian told The Associated Press. "His rights are your property if he is affiliated with one of your colleges. If his college is not assigned, we go to his pro team. If the NFL team does not work, and he is in the CFL, we go to that. Finally, if he is completely unallocated, he can be put on the rights list first-come, first-serve."
    So, a player that gets cut by the Broncos doesn't automatically go to Salt Lake, but to the team designated in according the regional college if the school is an "affiliated." If it's not, then they would go to Salt Lake.

    I'll be rooting for the San Diego team as Rifle's own Ryan Moeller has made the team.

    I watched this young man play almost every varsity game he participated in and it was like watching a man amongst boys. He went to CU and became an All Pac12 performer.

    Easily the greatest athlete I've seen come from my tiny little high school and a very good young man. His dad was my son's HC on his youth football teams and Ryan was around enough to get a good feel on what type of young man he is and he's very impressive.

    Go Fleet!!!!!!!

    Wikipedia is consistently one of the most accurate sources out there these days. Not trusting it is so 2005 .

    The fact that anyone on this site can post "facts" over their is reason enough to doubt it

    Scrolled through three pages to get to this. Should have started bottom up.

    Which team is associated with the Broncos?

    I think they are showing all the games free on the website, so I will be watching if I can stay up.

    I was going to be supporting the Memphis team, but I think I know need to default to Salt Lake.

    Go Stallions!
