nikka that idea ain't making no money :heh:
we already got HS football :heh:

I'm saying as an alternative to playing for free after high school graduation

with a nice TV deal that shyt could be a welcomed bridge between main seasons in the nfl

all the while preparing players for the pro game and allowing them to put $$$$$$ up
so even if you don't go pro you could have some change & shyt you can always buy an education :manny:

if people will watch then broadcasters will pay

people will support because of state pride and general love for football
plus just do an affiliate system with pro teams same as the nba d-league
most people don't know shyt about the players on their college roster or about rookie players coming into the nfl
they support because of the team and just the sport in general

plus it's in the spring/summer when ain't shyt popping off but baseball which enough people could give a fukk about*

Complete horseshyt. The quality of talent coming into the league is better than ever. It's the dumb ass rules that have fukked it up.
Greedy ass owners ain't paying for a developmental league.
Exactly, You take a kid who was an all american hard hitting safety in college and make him change his entire game just to avoid concussion lawsuits.

It'd be nice, but we all know it's a pipedream


The NFL too greedy to want to partner/promote another league. They "redtops" is the purest and selling the best...No need to start hustling bundles of the new "blue tops" if everybody hooked on the red.

Personally, I'd like it, especially in the summer months right after the NBA season or during the playoffs...

Don't have to be long, like 6-8 games max. Just give some guys a taste of the future, a chance to get back/hold on, or a small job (not everybody's gonna get "called up" :manny:)

This is a great idea. Have a 5 million dollar cap and have a championship and everything. Vince young going into the developmental league Hall of Fame :lolbron:

damn, you cats LOVE some VY lol...

plus just do an affiliate system with pro teams same as the nba d-league-How much money does the d league make and what major broadcaster shows their games?
most people don't know shyt about the players on their college roster or about rookie players coming into the nfl
they support because of the team and just the sport in general- How do you get people to automatically give a shyt about a team? You know people just don't up and support teams right? Minor league teams mostly have shyt attendance after the 1st year and the nostalgia wears off. College football is big because of schools have automatic built in fanbases because of students. Constant new fans every single year

plus it's in the spring/summer when ain't shyt popping off but baseball which enough people could give a fukk about*- Word cause playing in the summer helped the XFL

again how are you selling this to a network? Just say you want NCAA to pay the guys and leave it at that
