And schools have fan bases that are mostly local and like to come back to their little community. Imagine if the fan base were 20 million per team. A team in a large geographic area could play home games at several venues. Thus the Midwest Brawlers, covering several states, like MO, KS, IA, NE, SD, ND, could play their home games in St. Louis, KC, Omaha, and a few other places, and when the game was close by, everyone in a 3 hour drive would go.

Once the new league took off, it would expand from 16 to 32, and the regions would all split. Then you'd be even closer to the action. NY could be its own region. New England its own. NJ/Philly another. Western PA/Ohio. Regional differences would make life interesting. Some regions would have dozens of wide receivers and fewer big tight ends. Others might have big slow lineman but fewer DBs. Regional demographics would make the teams have their own character. It would be fun.
