First Down On The One House Okays Merger Of Football Leagues
Washington AP reports the National and American Football Leagues cleared a key hurdle for their merger with an antitrust exemption. Senate action remains, but House approval paves the way for presidential endorsement as the leagues plan a 24 team unit by 1968 and possible expansion by 1970. The deal eliminates college player drafts and ties to an anti inflation tax measure. The plan, backed by Johnson, aims to create a unified pro football system amid past salary and bonus disputes.
