It apparently was a glitch because they switched payroll administrators. (A third party company that administrates their payroll.)

Apparently the Dundon guy wanted in and he was just buying onto the league.



I don't believe this for a second. If he wanted in so badly why wait until after the first week to drop $250 million into it?

New leagues and minor leagues, which is what the AAF is, lose money, especially early. If Dundon is so savvy he'd have jumped in from the get-go.

PR people spin good news out of bad. Always have. The B'ham team GM isn't going to say shinola about bad finances, struggling, losing money, the shitty attendance or anything negative. He's like politicians -- say whatever you want people to believe over and over and over and move on.
