quality football at a ordable prices in underserved markets. In staying true to that goal, the UFL ensured the average ticket price for a UFL game is $20. Early on, Hambrecht partnered with smart business people to develop the plan and then sought top-notch football experts to execute. Hambrecht had established a relationship with former Google executive Tim Armstrong, now CEO of AOL, and together they invested the seed money to launch the league. Sports team owner and investor Mark Cuban showed early support of the league, and he subsequently came on board o ering his television network, HDNet, to broadcast some of the games. Hambrecht conducted his due diligence on the past failures of other professional leagues and took calculated measures not to repeat those enterprises past mistakes. First and foremost, Hambrecht sought personnel who have worked in the trenches, or in this case the sidelines/front o ces of the NFL, to oversee the football operations. In September of 2008, former Senior Vice President of Football Operations of the Jacksonville Jaguars Michael Huyghue was named the rst Commissioner of the UFL. Hambrecht commented on the Commissioners hiring: Michael possesses the perfect combination of rsthand experience in the football industry with the strategic vision necessary to shape and launch the UFL. Commissioner Huyghue was familiar with start-up operations, having been a primary architect behind the Jaguars roster and helping the team to become the winnngest franchise in expansion history. During Huyghues tenure with the team, the Jaguars won two AFC Central Division championships and made an unprecedented two AFC Championship Game appearances. The initial plan was to launch the UFL in the fall of 2008. While many debate the merits of playing at the same time as the NFL and college football, research indicated that the fall is when fans are most interested in watching football and attending games. The onset of the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression reduced the number of initial investors and delayed the leagues debut. It also reinforced the overall premise of the league, which is to provide quality sports entertainment at a ordable prices during a time when fans are seeking less expensive leisure time activities. The Premiere season validated the UFL belief that even in a tough economic environment, fans will invest in entertainment and few options are greeted with more passion than quality football. One of the primary goals of the UFL was to carve out a presence in markets void of professional football. Commissioner Huyghue visited numerous cities, some of which previously had housed alternate league teams. After numerous meetings with investors, stadium representatives and government o cials, the inaugural cities were selected.

UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUESt. Louis and the Houston Oilers relocated to Nashville, Bill Hambrecht was mysti ed. It seemed illogical that National Football League teams would leave two of the largest and best potential growth markets in the country. From a marketing angle, he knew there was room for more football teams around the United States. In conversations during this same period with coaching legend Bill Walsh, Hambrecht realized that there were many good football players who were on the verge of making NFL rosters, but often missed out due to the numbers game. Fast forward a little more than 10 years, and Hambrechts vision of expanding the football landscape beyond NFL markets and providing a platform for those promising players now has become a reality. The United Football League played its Premiere season during the fall of 2009 and is preparing for a second season set to kicko in September of 2010.

Although the UFL rst piqued the publics interest in an article in The New York Times Magazine on June 3, 2007, Hambrecht by then already was several years into planning his disruptive business model for a professional football league that would complement the NFL.

LEAGUE HISTORY

The 2009 Premiere seasonplayed, given that it had been more than three decades since a professional football league played its games during the traditional fall football season. But the inaugural UFL campaign gave fans exactly what the league said it would - high-quality professional football during a traditional fall season while embracing innovation and fan interaction. In 2009, the UFL elded four teams - the California Redwoods, Florida Tuskers, Las Vegas Locomotives and New York Sentinels. Florida quickly established itself as a dominant team, and ran the table during the regular season. Las Vegas lost twice to the Tuskers in a 16-day period, but nished the regular season on a three-game winning streak to reach the championship game. As it turned out, the initial UFL Championship Game was the most competitive game of the Premiere Season. It also was the rst game where the leagues unique overtime rules - where both teams are guaranteed at least one possession - were implemented. When the dust settled at Sam Boyd Stadium, nearly 15,000 fans saw Locos kicker Graham Gano, who had also scored the rst points in league history, end the inaugural UFL season with a 33-yard eld goal 1:43 into overtime. After the game, Las Vegas head coach Jim Fassel was carried o the eld after winning his rst professional championship, and he and his Locos were awarded the William Hambrecht Trophy as the rst-ever UFL champions. The Locos and Tuskers saved the best for last, as 27 of the games 37 points were scored in the fourth quarter and overtime, and the lead changed hands three times in a matter of 7 minutes. The championship game illustrated how the quality of play and competitiveness of the UFL games improved as the season went along. Of the nal eight games in the regular season and the championship game, ve were decided by a touchdown or less. The Premiere Season featured many names familiar to professional football fans. From head coaches like Fassel, Floridas Jim Haslett and Californias Dennis Green to players such as Las Vegas quarterback J.P. Losman, Locos linebacker Teddy Lehman and Florida running backs Tatum Bell and Michael Pittman, the UFL proved it could stock its teams with the best available talent. Meanwhile, the league also was adept

The 2009 United Football League Premiere Season was a success for the mere fact that it was

at making its own stars in California running back Cory Ross and New York wide receiver Craphonso Thorpe. After the championship game, Florida quarterback Brooks Bollinger was named the UFLs Motorola Most Valuable Player, and Haslett earned the leagues Mens Wearhouse Coach of the Year award. In leading the Tuskers highpowered o ense, Bollinger was the UFLs leading passer with a 112.8 passer rating, 1,518 yards and 14 touchdowns.
