2019 Alliance of American Football season | |
---|---|
League | Alliance of American Football |
Sport | American football |
Duration | February 9 – April 14 (planned) February 9 – March 31 (actual) |
Number of games | 40 scheduled (10 per team) 32 played (8 per team) |
Number of teams | 8 |
TV partner(s) | CBS, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network, TNT |
Best regular season record | Orlando Apollos |
The 2019 AAF season was the only season in the history of the Alliance of American Football (AAF),[1] which began on February 9, 2019. A ten-week regular season was scheduled for each of the league's eight teams.
On April 2, multiple sources indicated that Thomas Dundon, the controlling owner of the AAF, had followed through on threats made in the previous week and suspended the AAF's operations, against the will of its founders.[2][3] By the end of the week, the AAF front office had confirmed the suspension of operations and allowed players to opt-out of their contracts to sign with other leagues.[4] The league filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on April 17, 2019.[1]
At the time the season ended, eight out of ten scheduled weeks had been played, and the Orlando Apollos, with a league best 7–1 record two games ahead of its nearest competitors, had clinched no less than a share of the regular season's best record, regardless of how the rest of the schedule would have played out. A four-team playoff was scheduled to start on April 21, with a championship game on April 27. Initially scheduled for Sam Boyd Stadium on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, the title game was moved to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas,[5] before the league ceased operations.
Teams
[edit]The Alliance of American Football had eight teams competing during its inaugural season.
Final standings
[edit]The Orlando Apollos clinched a playoff berth on March 24,[6] and top seed in the Eastern Conference on March 30.[7] The Birmingham Iron clinched a playoff berth on March 31.[8]

Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 9 were scheduled with out-of-conference games.[10] Each team played one preseason exhibition game against an out-of-conference opponent. All of the preseason scrimmage games were held January 27–28 at the Alamodome, in conjunction with the league's training camp.

Statistical leaders
[edit]Records reflect statistics through the eight regular season games played by all teams.[20]
Officials
[edit]The league used the eight-official system (with the center judge), also seen in NCAA college football. There were six officiating crews, staffed with officials from FBS conferences.[21]
No. | Name | FBS Conference |
---|---|---|
2 | Reggie Smith | Big 12 |
9 | Tra Blake | ACC |
10 | John O'Neill | Big Ten |
19 | James Carter | SEC |
81 | Brandon Cruse | Big 12 |
84 | Jeff Heaser | ACC |
The officiating crews included one former NFL official—Jimmy DeBell, a back judge on the Smith crew—and three former NFL players: Nate Jones (side judge, Cruse crew), Terry Killens (umpire, Blake crew), and Mike Morton (umpire, Cruse crew).[21]
Broadcasting
[edit]CBS Sports, Turner Sports and NFL Network served as the Alliance's broadcast partners for the 2019 season. The CBS Sports deal was announced at the time the league launched, while the Turner Sports and NFL Network contracts were announced less than two weeks before the season began.[22]
- CBS Sports carried the two inaugural games (February 9) regionally via the CBS broadcast network, and was due to carry the championship game broadcast nationwide on the same network. CBS later added one conference championship game and one Week 9 regular season game to their schedule,[23] neither of which was played. CBS Sports Network carried a game of the week on Sunday afternoons.[11]
- The Turner Sports contract included one regular season game (February 16) and a conference championship game on TNT, and a Saturday afternoon game of the week on Bleacher Report's live streaming service, B/R Live. The network had the option to change which service it broadcast its games on, with TNT adding three midseason Saturday afternoon games from B/R Live. Had the league survived the full season, B/R Live would have carried a Sunday afternoon game for Week 9, swapping a game with CBS.[11] In Week 10, B/R Live was due to carry the league's one game of the season scheduled for a Friday.[24]
- NFL Network carried the remainder of the league's games, a Saturday night game and a Sunday night game each week.

One decimal place is shown in table but three decimal places are used in all calculations. None of CBS Sports Network's broadcasts register in the Nielsen Ratings and thus viewership estimates for those games are not available.

Signees to other professional leagues
[edit]NFL
[edit]On April 4, the AAF announced players could leave their contracts to sign with NFL teams following the reported suspension of league football operations. The following 99 players signed with NFL teams:
Nine players who were under contract with AAF teams at the time the league ceased operations made initial NFL 53-man active rosters on August 31, 2019: offensive tackle Brandon Greene with the Carolina Panthers,[122] quarterback Garrett Gilbert and running back D'Ernest Johnson with the Cleveland Browns,[123] cornerback De'Vante Bausby and defensive tackle Mike Purcell with the Denver Broncos,[124] long snapper Cole Mazza with the Los Angeles Chargers,[125] kicker Taylor Bertolet with the New York Jets,[126] cornerback Kameron Kelly with the Pittsburgh Steelers,[127] and offensive tackle Daniel Brunskill with the San Francisco 49ers.[128]
CFL
[edit]The following players signed with Canadian Football League (CFL) teams:

By April 18, CFL players were allowed to sign AAF players.[134]
