United Football League to start fall of '09? The UFL, a new American pro football league that plans to begin its first season in August 2009, unveiled on Monday its official logo, and launched its official web site. The league is still looking for owners of six teams that have yet to be given geographical homes, even as the league invites fans to submit suggestions to name the teams. Per SportsBusiness Journal, owners must commit to investing $30 million to $60 million into their franchises. The teams will have annual salary caps of $20 million, and salary floors of $12 million. Per a press release issued by the league, three teams will be situated on the West Coast, and three will be headquartered on the East Coast. Games will be played on Thursday and Friday nights. The release identifies the following cities as potential locations for teams: Hartford, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Monterrey (Mexico), New York, Orlando, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. An announcement could soon be coming regarding a cable television partnership, which will result in the national broadcast of one game per week. www.ufl-football.com/
