History

See main article: article and 2015 ASI Panthers season.

The ASI Panthers had previously existed as a semi-independent indoor team; the Panthers were one of the teams in AllStarInc's "ASI Developmental Football League."[1] The team's 2014 schedule included games against the Erie Explosion and Baltimore Mariners.[2] [3]

On October 10, 2014, American Indoor Football (AIF) announced that the ASI Panthers would be joining the league as part 2015 expansion.[4] The Panthers were officially announced as a 2015 expansion team of the AIF in November 2014.[5] [6] The Panthers left AIF after the 2015 season and announced they would play an independent schedule. In January 2016, the Indoor Football Alliance (IFA) included the Panthers in their 2016 draft and listed them as a member. The IFA failed to launch that season and the Panthers played in the semi-pro, outdoor Minor League Football (MLF). The semi-pro team has since changed its name to the Penn Panthers.
