There will be a combine in Feb. I think for guys interested in playing football in Fargo. The team will be named the Fargo Moorhead Liberty, they have a website with more information. It's not really semi-pro, the players will not be paid anything, sounds like a chance for former college players to still have some fun, or for some guys who didn't get the chance to play in college to see if they still have it. Since there is no pay there is no danger of losing any college eligibility.
I think it's a good idea. There are plenty of sceptics out there who will say that since the defunct FM Freeze didn't work, that this has no chance. Semi-pro football leagues exist all over the country, there's no reason it wouldn't work here. The costs of running this league have to be very minimal compared to an arena league team, where facilities are more costly and players are paid. There is also a team forming in the Detroit Lakes area also.
