XFL Never Dies

[TampaBayJacket]

A lot of college fans watch it every Saturday. What they need are stars and fan alliance, but that’s tough sledding for sure.

You know StingTalkers will flock to the league if they draft Vad Lee.

Most folks just don't care to watch third rate football.

Counterpoint - they just launched the ACC Network, so obviously there is a market for bad football

I have no idea what their revenue model and salary structure is. Basically, Vince McMahon is a stubborn old man with money to burn.

This. League will be gone in a year or 2. Little interest in watching minor league football (that's not associated with a specific school).

Exactly. I don't understand it at all. For one, all the franchises start in markets that already have (or have had, in St. Louis' case) well-established NFL teams. I don't see the fan bases of those teams just automatically rooting and backing an inferior product. Why wouldn't they pick markets where the NFL doesn't already have a strong presence (like St. Louis, Portland, San Diego, Austin, Salt Lake City, etc.)?

Cause those are all small markets that won’t drive TV views.
