What a mess.

Players are being forced to pay for their own travel back home, a source told ESPN, confirming an SI.com report.

The AAF last month also moved its title game from Las Vegas to Frisco, Texas. UNLV, which owns Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, told ESPN after a public records request, "There was no signed agreement between UNLV and the Alliance of American Football/Legendary Field Exhibitions, LLC." The game was expected to be played there, though, as Sam Boyd Stadium had been selling tickets on its website as late as the day it was announced the game would be moving.

The league's on-field officials have only been told that play is off for Week 9, with Week 10 still to be determined, according to an email obtained by ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. The email alerts officials that they should be expected to be paid for Weeks 7 and 8, while travel fees for Weeks 9 and 10 are being "worked on."

Sportsbooks across the United States took down odds to win the AAF title game after hearing of the announcement.

Multiple books confirmed to ESPN that they will refund all wagers on futures bets, including those on the Memphis Express and Atlanta Legends -- teams that had already been eliminated from postseason contention.

The Orlando Apollos were -110 favorites to win the AAF title at the SuperBook at the Westgate Las Vegas before odds were taken down Tuesday.
