BREAKING NEWS FROM THE IFL...

According to sources, league founder and CEO Chris Chudada has announced that he will be stepping aside from the league for personal reasons. It is known that Mr. Chudada is keen on coaching and has been offered the chance to coach youth at the high school level. Furthermore, he reportedly feels that he has shepherded the league to a place where it can survive without his involvement. At this point, no official announcement has been made, but sources continue to report that Mr Chudada has decided to step away.

Rumored to be in the mix to step in and assist IFL Commissioner Pete Narrai and co-owner Jordan Kopac is former IFL President of Football Ops Dan Greene. Greene is currently the coach of the West Bend Junkyard Dogs and heads up the IFL Hall-of-Fame Committee.

***UPDATE***

It has been confirmed that Mr Narrai and Mr Kopac will be running the league in the interim as more help is sought...

Before we get there, you can review:

#5 - Will an idea like the SEFL finally take hold?
This past autumn, there was much talk about the proposals put forth that became collectively known as the “SEFL”. While the moniker was not official and the whole thing was more a collection of ideas as opposed to a single unified proposal, it nonetheless gained a lot of attention and interest in Southern Wisconsin. The interest of those teams signals a void in the area, one that is likely caused by the lack of a viable “team-run” league. The IFL has the current lion’s share of the market, but as explained later, the league is not without its faults. Likewise with the WSFL, the alternative to the IFL, but largely struggling with teams.

Over the next few days, we're going to feature the top stories that are worth paying attention to in 2010. Some feature specific teams, some feature specific leagues; all are relevant to amateur football next year.

By no means are these the only stories that will be worth paying attention to. We don't know what will happen as the year progresses, and something earthshaking (or even just noteworthy) could pop up and play out. But at the end of 2009, these are the Top 10 stories we'll be watching.

#10 - Will a continued economic slowdown affect amateur football?
