The United National Football League announced on Thursday that they have signed two licensed franchises in Texas which will help form the base of the league that will begin play in January of 2009. "Due to reasons ranging from inequities in media exposure and scouting methods of football players among various college divisions and conferences, to inadequate statistical measurements and arbitrary benchmarks, the current system to evaluate aspiring professional football athletes is seriously flawed. The UNFL can fill this gap by providing a truly competitive landscape to evaluate talent, enhance the player selection process, and enable professional football teams to provide the highest quality product to their loyal fan base," states Marvin Tomlin, league Co-Founder. The UNFL is unlike any football league out there, and RealGM's Andrew Perna has profiled the developments in a pair of columns in recent months. Look for more material on the ground-breaking developmental league in the coming weeks.
