New pro football team to play at UCF's Spectrum Stadium, details of deal won't be disclosed

The University of Central Florida will play host to a professional football team coached by former Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier, part of a new spring league that will start next year.

But the university isn’t releasing the details of the arrangement, including the rent the league will pay for use of Spectrum Stadium, citing a public records exemption in state law that allows deals between school-affiliated private corporations like the UCF Athletics Association and other entities to stay secret.

The university’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved the rental agreement Wednesday after athletics director Danny White touted the money that could be made from the deal.
