2016 Indoor Football Alignment Projections(as of 19 May 2015)Read the COLOR CODE KEY on the right of the graphic for explanations of what pending and rumors mean, as well as everything else.
Read the ODDS OF TEAM RETURNING TO LEAGUE percentages at the bottom middle of the graphic for my initial odds on whether teams will return to their current league or not for 2016.

Saginaw has clearly been the best run organization in the leagues they have been in, but they are ready for the entry fee and the competition of the PIFL? I would not be surprised to see Saggy, Erie, and Marion (maybe even ChiBlitz) back together next year in some form.

Very possible. Cape Fear may even be a possible in that group. I think you mean Chicago Blitz (Sting is Saginaw's nickname).

As of 23 May:Updated today (first image posted was from earlier this week). There's some stuff left out, but will be added as soon as it breaks somewhere else since I don't have permission to release it.

There may be a little bit of humor thrown in towards the X-League and AIF (but it's definitely warranted).

I can see Wichita Falls (TX) leaving the IFL to the CIF because of travel.

I'm not sure what the game presentation is around the IFL, but Wichita Falls' is non-existent -- to be kind. They say they are averaging 2,500, but they have to be counting invisible friends (freebies that aren't used). The product hasn't been terribly exciting, and the hype guy they have with a microphone does nothing but make everybody cringe. Owner told local paper yesterday he is committed to 2016, but things won't last if attendance doesn't improve. I live here, and it's not going to improve without a lot of changes.

Reported attendance for pro sports teams usually covers tickets distributed numbers (which include all tickets sold and all tickets given away for free ... regardless of who actually shows up).

I would not be surprised to see Saggy, Erie, and Marion (maybe even ChiBlitz) back together next year in some form. Well Marion is now out of the XIFL. These four semi-stable owners need to get together, keep it regional and small. Vet the new owners whoever they may be.

What a collapse in the Xleague. How about the Championship, Rio Grande Valley does not travel the day of the game, and surprise, surprise, 5th place Florida Raiders are playing for the Title at Florida Tarpons. Rio Grande Valley IS hosting Corpus Christi Fury Monday night??? Does this mean Coprus Christi is leaving also, along with Cape Fear, Marion, and Rio Grande Valley?
Is this the end of the X league?
Any chance we see a return of the UIFL or some other league by Dittman?

Yeah I can see Rio, Corpus, New Mexico and East Texas starting a league.

X-League may be done, or may return even worse than it was this season.
There is a semi-pro league, NAIF or some such, starting up that many of the teams that couldn't cut it in pro leagues will probably join. Either that or they'll fold. Dittman will likely return, where is up in the air.

I agree with that there is another team the Austin Armadillos trying to come out

Austin was going to join the UIFL this year, the team was going to be called the Austin Nitro, they even had a website for a while, I think if the Missouri Voodoo did not join last year, in that disaster, they would have been the 4th team in the UIFL in 2014.
