The last team to announce their departure from the league was the 2017 Cowles Cup Champs Scrap Yard Dawgs.
Similar to Scrap Yard, the Pride will resume business as an independent team with games scheduled for November 2019.
To our fans: we will still be an active professional team! You can catch the Pride in action as soon as November against FSU & UF. Stay tuned for the release of our full 2020 schedule soon.
