After losing Alexandria, the now bankrupt Continental League finished out the 2010 season before saying goodbye for good. The best teams in the league were scooped up by the more "New Mexico-West Texas" based Pecos League and the rest went to the Texas Collegiate League which was a Collegiate Summer League. Independent minor league baseball wise, no one would came calling on Bringhurst Field but Alexandria found new life joining their Continental League partners in the less demanding Collegiate Summer League market. In a CSL, players aren't paid... they can't be. They are getting themselves ready for the Major League Amateur Draft and being paid would stop their chances of getting a very lucrative $1 million plus deal. Playing in these CSL's however gave scouts a very good way of telling how they would perform in the Minor Leagues once they got signed. With less money to have to pay out... the Aces signed with the Texas Collegiate League along with former Continental League franchises in Tyler and McKinney. They would spend 3 years in the TCL until 2013 when suddenly the United League came calling once again. The U.L. however by this point had fallen on very tough times after the merger with the North American League was dissolved. Many wondered if the U.L. would even be able to finish a full season back on their own again. Still it was a chance for Alexandria to help the league survive and the Aces were back to being an independent minor league team.
