Why is the AAFL having a draft for?

I don't understand why the AAFL is having a draft. I thought one of the criteria to play was that you played college football in the state of your team. Therefore, Arkansas can't select a Florida player right??? Any thoughts on this new professional football league.

I guess the only requirements are complete college eligibility and have a 4 year degree. I guess you an select outside of your state. What if Texas drafts Chris Leak? I guess it isn't directly tied to a particular university even though it seems like a lot of UF alumni are giving their support for the Florida team.

players must have a college degree, and players like chris leak and eric crouch are joining it. I can see a lot of ex nfl europe players moving to this league

Yeah, it is getting kind of a lot of buzz around here. I think Shane Mathews is the head coach and Riddell Anthony is an assistant coach for Florida. I remember Leak announcing he would play for Florida in November, but I still am a little confused by the draft. Some of these guys seem to be moving to different locations to play, so they must be paying at least a regular jobs salary.
