Our League Plays Host to Players from 3 major Collegiate Associations
NCAA
The NCAA is the premier college football association. Players that are not able to land on an NFL team find new homes here within our league.
NAIA
The NAIA is loaded with qualified players. Players who do not find an NFL home during the draft participate in our league pro days to land a spot with a team in the PIFL.
NJCAA
The transfer portal has made it difficult for many to receive interest from collegiate teams. Once all of their options are exhausted, the players join our league for further development.
