At least TWO new football leagues are starting up this year, one starting TODAY: The Alliance football league. This league is being organized by former NFL people, including Bill Polian. The NFL more or less is sanctioning this Spring league. The NFL Network is planning to televise two games per week. It will follow, basically, the same rules as the NFL and will NOT compete with the NFL for players...
The second, a re-birth of the XFL is being booted up by Vince McMahon, who reportedly has $500M in investor money ready to bankroll the league in the early stages. The XFL will have NO AGE limits or college requirements for players. That means, ANY player... like, Trevor Lawrence, for example, could sign and play for them. Don't think it's possible? Ever hear of Jim Kelly?
This reboot of the XFL has the potential to really foul up things in FBS football. It's Hen's dream come true. The ruination of modern day college football. Will be interesting to see how things turn out.
