NFL, NFLPA Reportedly Surprised By Tom Dundon’s Decision To Pull Plug On AAF

The more I read about the final days of the Alliance of American Football, the more I become perplexed. It seems to fall virtually entirely upon to shoulders of Carolina Hurricanes Owner Tom Dundon, who came in after the first week of the league’s inaugural season to save them financially after an original primary investor had backed out.

While it was reported that he committed $250 million, it was soon after revealed that his investment would only be paid in increments, and that he would be able to withdraw it essentially at the drop of a hat.
