This isn’t how the Alliance of American Football’s first and possibly only season was supposed to go. You can largely thank the investors for that. it was late-coming investor Tom Dundon, owner of the Carolina Hurricanes, who invested $250 million in the AAF in the early portions of its inaugural season to keep it afloat, that ultimately decided the league’s fate, pulling the plug yesterday.
Dundon was only brought on board because, as Orlando Apollos Head Coach Steve Spurrier told reporters back in February, their primary original investor also backed out.
