The 2007 season brought big changes, as the league changed its name to the Continental Indoor Football League,[REF] and saw the league expand to 14 teams with only the Crunch not returning [REF].
The league suspended operations in October 2014, when the league's five remaining teams, the champion Erie Explosion, the Saginaw Sting, Marion Blue Racers, Chicago Blitz and Northern Kentucky River Monsters, either suspended operations or joined other leagues.
