SAN ANTONIO FC and NEW YORK CITY FC announce partnership.

i think its more the latter

Is SAFC a re-brand of the former San Antonio Scorpions? Or did the Spurs group clean house and change whole team and organization?
Somewhat in between. The Scorpions had an odd charity based structure. Spurs owned a USL license and were pushing for MLS. They bought the stadium from Scorpions owner (Hartman?) who kept the NASL license and brand name. The Scorpions were virtually defunct by the time the sale went through. It was rumored that Hartman was set to sell his NASL assets to a Las Vegas group but that has not happened yet.

Edit: This is based off memory and may not be 100% accurate, but is generally correct.
