Football players in the UFL, which has a team in Hartford, are hearing the words that make any employee cringe: The check is in the mail, The San Francisco Business Times reports.
NBC Sports reported that UFL players are still waiting for their final paychecks of the season, more than a month after the league’s championship game, the paper says in its online edition. Players were told they would have their money by the end of 2010, NBC Sports reported.
The report did not indicate why the payments are late.
A spokesman for the league, Michael Preston, said via email that, “All I can tell you is that payments are being processed and that players will be paid.”
Preston did not say when those payments are expected.
The UFL, which began play in 2009, was founded by San Francisco investment banker Bill Hambrecht. Its other teams are in Orlando, Fla.., Sacramento, Calif., Las Vegas, Omaha, Neb. and Hampton Roads, Va.
