They won’t be millionaires but they should earn more dough than what they would get going to college.

XFL is supposedly drafting out of high school. Another reason why I'm looking forward to XFL.

The Pacific Pro Football is trying to get Trevor Lawrence for the next few years. So I think 2 of the 3 new leagues are willing to take NFL ineligible players.

Also I didn't realize the the AAF teams are all associated with specific colleges and professional teams. So the NFL (or CFL) team that you most recently played on determines which AAF team you are on, and if that doesn't apply then you go to the team associated with your college. I guess its a good way to get local interest. Figures though that ND isn't associated with any specific team. However, both Southern Cal and Stanford are associated with San Diego, so I'm definitely not cheering for them.

Wow if this is successful it’s going to change the NCAA scene big time, IMO.

I wonder what the NCAAs viewpoint is on this. Could be taking some pressure off of them with not having to pay student athletes.

The product isn't terrible. Crowd seems into it at least.

Families look at it as similar to minor league baseball. It’s not the elite talent but it’s a heckuva lot more affordable than what it costs to take a family of four to an NFL or NCAA football game.

Saw that...they should use the silhouette of that for the league's symbol, like pistol Pete for the nba.
