Close your eyes.

It’s the early 1920s. The American Pro Football Association has just reshuffled its management structure and increased the number of teams – including adding a team from Green Bay called the Packers. In just a few months the APFA will undergo another significant alteration, only this time a name change will be in order.

The American Pro Football Association became the National Football League in 1922, and the lives of the eighteen initial owners were never the same.

Open your eyes and take a look at what professional football has become today.

The league now fields thirty-two teams and has leapfrogged baseball as America’s sport of choice. Year after year North America’s premier professional league breaks attendance records, and nearly one billion dollars will be distributed among its franchises over the course of the latest collective bargaining agreement.

Now imagine what it would have been like to get into the NFL on the ground floor.

Here at RealGM, we have the exclusive scoop on how you can enter something equally special during its infantile stage.

Back in December I profiled the start of a brand-new developmental football league called the UNFL, the very first league of its kind (click here to view the piece, entitled ‘The Birth of the UNFL, A True Development League’). Now the UNFL is giving you the opportunity to enter the league on the ownership level.

The league is actively looking for potential franchise owners as it heads towards its inaugural season in January of 2009. They are seeking people that are committed to the game of football, whether it be because of an intense desire to be a part of something unique or because aching knees and pounding headaches have kept you from taking part in the action on the field.

The United National Football League has been constructed to stand alone, as was originally intended, but a partnership with the NFL isn’t out of the question as they look towards future. This is evident in their league slogan, “Developing Tomorrow’s Stars of the Game.” They aren’t trying to compete with the NFL but rather help them put the best athletes on the field. The success of the NBA’s developmental league, the NBDL, has laid the groundwork for what could be in the UNFL’s not-so-distant future.

The league is looking for eight teams to kick off its first season next year but hopes to eventually expand to as many as twenty-two franchises. That means there are plenty of opportunities to get in before the UNFL becomes larger than life.

Decades from now a sports fan surfs the internet and stumbles upon this story. He slams down his mouse repeatedly wishing he had become a part of the UNFL during its infancy.

The opportunity is here so don’t fumble the chance to help change the landscape of professional football…
