LEAGUE HISTORY

In the mid-‘90swhen the Los Angeles Ramsmoved to St. Louis and the Houston Oilersmoved to Nashville, Bill Hambrecht wasmystified. It was illogical that NFL teamswould be leaving two of the largest and bestgrowth markets in the country. From amarketing angle, he knew there was roomfor more football teams. In conversationsduring this same period with coaching legendBill Walsh, Hambrecht realized that therewere lots of really good football players whocould not fit onto NFL rosters.

Fast forward ten years and this idea has nowbecome a reality as the United FootballLeague kicks off its “Premiere” seasonOctober 8, 2009. While the UFL first reachedthe public spotlight in an article in The NewYork Times Magazine on June 3, 2007, Hambrecht was years into planning his disruptive business modelfor a professional football league that would complement the NFL. Many, if not all, of the core tenets onwhich the League was conceived still remain just weeks prior to the initial kickoff. Hambrecht’s model wasto provide quality football at affordable prices in underserved markets and the fans will come. The averageticket price for a UFL game is $20.

Early on, Hambrecht partnered with smart business people to develop the plan and then sought top-notchfootball experts to execute. Hambrecht had established a relationship with former Google executive TimArmstrong (now CEO of AOL) and together they invested the seed money to launch the League. Mark Cubanshowed early support of the League and he subsequently came on board offering up his television network,HDNet, to broadcast some of the games. Hambrecht conducted his due diligence on the past failures ofother professional leagues and took calculated measures not to repeat the mistakes of the past. First andforemost, Hambrecht sought out personnel who have worked in the trenches (or in this case thesidelines/front offices of the NFL) to oversee the football operations. In September of 2008, former SeniorVice President of Football Operations of the Jacksonville Jaguars Michael Huyghue was named the firstCommissioner of the United Football League.

Hambrecht commented on the Commissioner’s hiring, “Michael possesses the perfect combination offirsthand 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 the primary architect behind theJaguars roster and helping the team to become the winnngest franchise in expansion history. During

Huyghue’s tenure with the team, the Jaguars achieved two AFC Central Division Championships and anunprecedented two AFC Championship appearances.

One of the primary goals of the UFL was to be a presence in markets underserved by professional football.Commissioner Huyghue visited numerous cities, some of which had housed successful alternate league teams.After numerous meetings with investors, stadium representatives and government officials – the inaugural citieswere selected.

Commissioner Huyghue was also tasked with finding top level executives with the experience needed tolaunch a successful football league. He also sought people who had the desire to be innovative and creativethinkers. Huyghue reached back to his NFL days and tapped former Vice President of Licensing for NFLProperties and founder of 16W Marketing, Frank Vuono, to serve as his COO. Vuono was the driving forcebehind the increased sales of NFL licensed products from approximately $300 million to over $2.5 billion.Having consulted for, or worked closely with, nearly half of the teams in the NFL, Vuono has negotiatedrecord-breaking partnerships in naming rights, sponsorship, merchandising, and ticket and suite sales.Huyghue also hired Larry Upson, a former Director of Officiating for the NFL, as the UFL’s Vice Presidentof Officiating/Operations. The combined knowledge and proficiency reinforced the credibility of the League.

Furthermore, Commissioner Huyghue began conversations with top level coaches and players about theoverall premise of the League. Most experts concurred that there was an abundance of talented playersand coaches currently sitting on the sidelines. What would prove to be most challenging is finding the rightowners who had the financial portfolio to withstand early year losses which is inevitable in start-up leagues.

interactive web destination, www.ufl-football.com, for the fans that will enable them to feel part of thefootball action. The UFL also launched a “Name The Team” campaign via the website where fans couldsubmit recommendations.

The strength of the product of the field was bolstered with the announcement of seasoned assistant coachesand with the hiring of former New Orleans Saints executive Rick Mueller as Vice President and GeneralManager. Mueller is serving as GM to all four teams as well as overseeing all aspects of scouting and playeracquisition for the League. The financial backing of the League was strengthened with an infusion of $30million dollars and the announcements of Paul Pelosi and William E. Mayer as owners of the California andNew York teams, respectively. The UFL also announced the Tampa Bay Rays as the primary investor in theFlorida franchise and that one of the franchise’s games would be held at Tropicana Field. FormerNorthwestern University President Henry Bienen was named Chair of the Board of Directors.

In an effort to make the UFL games innovative, modern and accessible to the fans, the UFL’s CompetitionCommittee, led by Chair Dennis Green, announced game enhancements and rule modifications. At thesame, time, the League took careful measures in ensuring that the overall integrity and competitiveness ofthe game not be comprised. Some of the rule enhancements included:

➢ The deletion of the “Tuck” rule which makes a loose ball a fumble if the passer loses possession of theball as he is putting it away after completion of the forward pass motion.

➢ A fumble into and out of the end zone returns the ball to the spot of the fumble when not recovered inthe end zone – making it consistent with other fumble rules.

➢ The Quarterback can legally ground the football if inside or outside the pocket area while under duress.➢ Tasteful individual and/or group celebrations are permitted ONLY in end zone and bench area.➢ Instant Replay rulings will be made by the Replay Official in the Replay Booth rather than the on-field

referee. Review time will be 90 seconds rather than 60 seconds.➢ During overtime/sudden-death, both teams will have an opportunity to possess the football during the

allotted 15 minutes. Sudden-death rules apply after both teams have had an opportunity to possessthe football.

➢ Approved television cameras will be allowed in the locker rooms for the first four minutes of halftime.➢ Head Coaches will be wired for sound for television broadcasts (no sideline discussions will be aired).

Cameras and microphones in the bench area will be allowed during the game to capture real-timeemotional moments.

➢ TV audience will hear coach to quarterback communications on tape-delayed basis.

In July of 2009, the UFL announced a partnership with GameWear Team Sports as the League’s OfficialSupplier of Uniforms and Practicewear. For the “Premiere” season, award-winning designer Ron Carusoof Purepartner created all the teams’ uniforms using derivatives of the official League logo for all the designswhile making each one distinctive. The uniforms were officially unveiled at a series of local pressconferences which also introduced the team names. Team names were selected after the review of more

LEAGUE HISTORY

The initial plan was to launch the UFL in the Fall of 2008. While many debate the merits of playing at the sametime as the NFL and college football, the research clearly indicates that is where fans are most interested inwatching football and attending games. However, what Bill Hambrecht and Commissioner Huyghue did notanticipate is the impending recession and what some may consider the collapse of Wall Street. While someinitial investors were no longer viable candidates, the delay allowed the League to focus on those investors whowere fiscally sound. It also reinforced the overall premise of the League which is to provide quality sportsentertainment at affordable prices during a time when fans were seeking less expensive leisure time activities.

The national spotlight shined on the UFL when the League announced that it has partnered with the city ofCasa Grande, Arizona to create a state-of-the-art training complex. Skepticism continued on the League’soverall success until a March 11, 2009 press conference when the UFL formally announced its “Premiere”season and its four initial coaches. At a press conference in San Francisco, Ted Cottrell, Jim Fassel, DennisGreen and Jim Haslett were introduced as the coaches of the New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco andOrlando teams, respectively. There would be additional games in Hartford and Los Angeles. It was alsoannounced that eight of the games would be broadcast live in HD on VERSUS and the Championship Gamewould be held Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas.

The news cycle continued for the UFL as the League announced partnerships with two standout companiesin the creation of a new logo and updated web presence. To help establish the UFL’s identity, the Leagueworked with Landor Associates, one of the world’s leading strategic brand and design consultancies. Inaddition, the UFL hired award-winning professional services agency, Lightmaker, Inc., to create a top-notch

than thirty thousand fan entries and interpretation from industry experts and an in-house creative team onwhat attributes the fans were seeking with their submissions. It was also important to the League to choosenames that best reflected the local community and could define the personality of the team.

Meet the UFL “Premiere” Season teams:

Las Vegas LocomotivesLas Vegas was originally established in 1905 with the opening of the Salt Lake, San Pedroand Los Angeles Railroads. The League selected the Locomotives, or Locos, in reverenceof the vast history of the city and the intrinsic benefits that this innovation provided to thecommunity.

California RedwoodsThe Redwoods, large, strong trees native to California, symbolize many traits that theUFL and the California franchise plan to embody. The Redwoods and the UFL arereaching for the stars and are eco-friendly. The team name also possesses attributesthat signify strength, respect for the environment and suggest growth opportunities.

Florida Tuskers The Tusker is a nickname for the American Wild Boar, which roams the state ofFlorida. Tuskers are fierce, smart, athletic and powerful – growing up to 600 poundsand they have large tusks which they use to fight predators. The UFL also introducedMajor League Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays as the primary investor in the Florida teamand that one of the games would be played at Tropicana Field.

New York Sentinels When selecting a name for the New York franchise, the UFL wanted to pay homageto the individuals who protect New York City including the NYPD, FDNY, the PortAuthority and so many other dedicated organizations who bravely watch over the city.

Also in July, the UFL announced the signing of its first player. Former NFL first-round draft pick JP Losmanwas named quarterback to the Las Vegas franchise. In an in-depth interview with ESPN.com, Losmancommented about his playing in the UFL, "I'm looking at my career over the long haul. OK, this is where I'mat in five years. But I look at it like, 'Where do I want to be after a 10-year, 11-year career?' There are somethings I feel I want to work on that I need to work on, and this league gives me an opportunity to do that andto work with somebody (Coach Fassel) who's had a lot of success in the NFL."

Additional player signings continued throughout the comingweeks, highlighted by several invitation-only workouts and opentryouts. In Orlando, more than 1,200 hopefuls lined thesidewalks surrounding the Citrus Bowl in hopes of being givenone more opportunity to compete on the gridiron of dreams.The pool of players eventually signed to the training camprosters included former NFL first-round draft picks, Pro Bowlplayers and college standouts.

Venue selections for each of the franchises were also narroweddown over the summer with a combination of collegiate,professional football and baseball stadiums announced. In its“Premiere” season, the UFL will host games in:

➢ California – AT&T Park➢ Florida – Citrus Bowl in Orlando and Tropicana Field in Tampa➢ New York – Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands and Citi Field ➢ Las Vegas – Sam Boyd Stadium➢ Hartford – Rentschler Stadium➢ Los Angeles – Home Depot Center

Ticket sales and online merchandise launched in August and preliminary sales for both were strong, withsome merchandise selling out its initial stock within hours. Sales of tickets were met with positive resultsas fans relished in the affordable pricing and the ability to bring a family of four to a professional footballgame for under $100.

Training camp officially began on Monday, September 13th with 124 players reporting to Orlando, Floridaand another 124 players reporting to Casa Grande, Arizona. Upon conclusion of camp on September 30th,each team cut its roster to 50 plus two practice squad players. The regular season for the UFL commenceson October 1st. The first official game of the United Football League will be played on October 8th when theLas Vegas Locos host the California Redwoods at Sam Boyd Stadium.

UFL Founder Bill Hambrecht, Commissioner Michael Huyghue, COO Frank Vuono and other Leagueexecutives have already begun preparations for the 2010 season. With the anticipated success of the UFL’s“Premiere” season, the League is planning to expand to six teams next year and then eight teams in 2011.The UFL also anticipates each team will conduct an initial public offering (IPO). The UFL strongly believesthat it’s fans should have the opportunity to be more than just fans. Offering team shares to the publicaligns the incentives of the League, the teams and their fans. Remember the UFL is about U the Fan – Yourtown, your team, your league!
