S15/S16 OFFSEASON

OWNERS PUSHING FOR HIFL TO PFL DEFECTORS BE BANNED FOR LIFE!

With more and more players departing the High Impact Football League for the newly salary cap-less PFL, the HIFL League Office, Owners Association, and HIFLPA have called for a meeting after reports of the owners pressuring commissioner Wilkinson to take drastic actions in an effort to stem the tide of exodus from the league.

At least 5 owners have co-signed a letter to Commissioner Wilkinson calling for her to ban defectors from returning to the league, a move that other owners are saying is too drastic and could have a negative impact on player relations.

the HIFLPA, the players association / union that works exclusively for players in the HIFL, has said that they have tried to keep players in the league, but the chance to maximize their earnings has been a hard sell to overcome.

"The fact that the PFL has removed their salary cap while the HIFL continues to operate under the same salary cap it has had for the past three years is a large obstacle in our negotiations."  A HIFLPA board member said this afternoon,  "Players want to make the most money they possibly can.  Stephen Shelley was offered $2MM to play in the HIFL, but is now making over $30MM to play in the PFL, how do we argue against that?"

Whatever the solution, the end game is clearly to stop the HIFL from losing top talent to the PFL, but with a constant influx of new talent from the NCAA draft, the International Free Agency period, or even the controversial BBB ComBBBine, there just might not be enough jobs or money to go around which means more and more talent could be eying the suddenly very attractive and increasingly competitive PFL.
