One piece of old news that is worth note:

Bears season opener in Topeka to be televised live in Omaha market

Nebraska Bears owner Mike Carter announced today that Cox Cable will be televising "live" the season opening game from Topeka, Kansas, against the never-beaten and three-time champion Kansas Koyotes of the American Professional Football League. [...]
Carter also announced that the live telecast will be replayed Sunday, April 24th at 6:00 PM on Cox Channel 02. Additionally, all of the Bears home games will be televised on a delayed basis every Sunday at 6:00 PM, on Cox Channel 02.


It looks like the Koyotes aren't the only 'real' team in the APFL this year.
