Who’s going to watch? NFL Scouts and Football Junkies like me. I can’t stand the Football Down Time from the end of the Super Bowl until Late August. I used to watch the NBA and Major League Baseball, but now find them both boring and predictable. I don’t expect the USFL to draw a lot of fans, but it might be a diversion away from an otherwise boring Spring/Summer.
TV Contract? I seem to remember ESPN used to televise the USFL. But that was back when ESPN used to televise tiddly-wink tournaments.

Me too. If they do it right this time, it can be a minor league feeder to the NFL (Arena and CFL are too strange to be good feeders).
And the NFL needs something College and Pro — some tempering would have helped many a player: both physically and emotionally.
Yeah, I’ll watch, too. Even Arena Football rejects is better than 95% of what’s on these days.
Exactly. Minor league football is a great idea.
Kurt Warner came from the arena league.
People will watch, looking for talent for their favorite NFL team. Than blog about it.
