Who broadcasting? @rick4bama

 

[RollllTide!]

What network

 

[TerryP]

@50+yeartidefan @RollllTide!

The AFF signed a deal with CBS. I'm not sure if the games which broadcast channel...may be their CBS Sports alternate channel.

 

[RollllTide!]

158 on dish CBS sports channel

 

[rick4bama]

@RollllTide! ,@50+yeartidefan CBS is showing one tomorrow night at 8/7 CBS will be doing it on it regular and the other one! I read that the Iron will be playing Legion Field.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Why not. I'm curious to see what we have. I'd be a lot more curious if it was possible to watch your local team every week. Sounds like CBSports is just doing the national game of the week.

CBS Sports Network will be carrying the Birmingham/Memphis game.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Did a little research and learned with an 8 team league there will be 4 games per week. 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. What's cool is that all the games look like they will be broadcast somewhere. For example:

6. How can I watch?
The first AAF game is on Feb. 9, between Atlanta and Orlando, is on CBS. Going forward, there’ll be a game per week on CBSSN, with those streamed on the AAF’s website.
TNT will broadcast one regular season and one playoff game per season, per Sports Business Journal. The NFL Network’s going to take two games per week and will broadcast a total of 19 games.

I had no idea what a B/R live football network actually is. Brand new and online, but I don't see any way to get it on my TV. The 5th week is where we find B'ham.

AAF players to get 3-year, $250K contracts

Alliance of American Football players will earn $250,000 over three years and be dispersed to teams close to where they played in college.

www.espn.com

League co-founder Bill Polian, an ESPN NFL analyst, said the league will give players three-year, non-guaranteed contracts worth $250,000 each.
Players can leave the league, which is set to kick off Feb. 9, to go to the NFL. Polian said it's currently unclear whether a player's rights will revert back to the AAF after a three-year period expires or if the clock stops ticking on a team's three-year rights when a player gets "called up" to the big time.
Salaries will be in line with AAF competitor the XFL, which has said it will pay players an average of $75,000 per season. That league launches in 2020.
Polian said a contract will include state-of-the-industry health insurance and an education stipend to any player who completes a year in the league.


Best of luck to all the players.
