The Alliance will kick off its season the week after the Super Bowl and has a TV contract with CBS.
The AFL difference in rules from Wikipedia are:
Teams will have 50 players on each roster, with some selected by a territorial draft.
Telecasts will feature no television timeouts and 60 percent fewer commercials, with the league aiming for an approximate real-time game length of 150 minutes, down from just over 180 in the NFL.
All teams must attempt two-point conversions after each touchdown; there will be no extra point kicks.
here will be no kickoffs; all possessions will begin on each team's own 25-yard line, the same as touchbacks in the NFL and NCAA. In lieu of an onside kick, a team can keep possession of the ball by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line and gaining at least 10 yards.
The play clock will run only 30 seconds, 10 seconds shorter than in the NFL.
Two coach's challenges per team are the only replays.
Outside organizations will handle head-safety protocols
Okay, y'all talk it over while I... finish my first round of drinks.
What? We’re getting an Alliance of American Football team here in San Antonio?
First I’ve heard of that. Wonder what that is?
Oh well, We have plenty of middle school football fields they can use to play on. Some of them can seat up to a hundred fans. Which is twice the number they may need.

Mike Riley as in fail Nebraska football coach Mike Riley?
No major markets there, and only two cities that are also in the NFL. I wonder how they plan to succeed without New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
