Steve Spurrier is still collecting championships.

Sports betting website FanDuel Sportsbook will recognize the Orlando Apollos as champions of the Alliance of American Football.

FanDuel announced Wednesday that it will pay out all straight futures bets made on the AAF championship. Bettors will be issued credits — not cash — to use on future wagers, FanDuel announced.

The AAF suspended operations on Tuesday with two weeks left to play in its regular season (a two-round playoff also was to be played). The Apollos easily finished with the league's best record at 7-1, two games ahead of the Arizona Hotshots, Birmingham Iron and San Antonio Commanders (each had 5-3 records).

"The AAF should be commended for trying to do something disruptive in the sports landscape, and we hope this symbolic gesture shows the players and coaches that sports fans everywhere appreciated the hard work and sacrifices they made," CMO of FanDuel Group Mike Raffensperger said in a statement. "While we’ve declared the Apollos honorary champions, we think the biggest winners should be our customers and hope they enjoy their payouts."

On Tuesday, Spurrier called out the AAF's "not very truthful" leadership, but also used the opportunity with the media to lobby for his Apollos to be declared champions.

"We're 7-1 and the next teams are 5-3," Spurrier said.

The Apollos clearly were The Alliance's best team, easily outpacing the league in points scored (236, to the second-place Hotshots' 186) and point differential (100, to second-place Hotshots' 42), while cruising to the league's best record.

As a college coach, Spurrier won one national championship (1996 with Florida), six SEC championships and one ACC championship.
