Pro football in Texas could start within two years
Benny Strickland of Austin, ex Alamo Heights and Austin coach, says a professional football league will operate in Texas within two years with six-city franchises. He heads a Southern Sports association plan backed by local stockholders and possible National Football League sponsorship if needed. The Southwestern division would include San Antonio and other Gulf states cities, with New Orleans and Atlanta in a separate division. The plan envisions clubs owned by local citizens and a pro grid tent in every baseball park. Strickland argues the Texas circuit will form without NFL control, while Carr’s influence guides league rules and player options.
