re: Why not form a competing organization similar to the NFL?

You act like this hasn't been tried before.

Football is an incredibly expensive sport. 55 players per team each wearing thousands of dollars of equipment. It has a massive barrier to entry to compete with a long-established, much larger competitor.

I think the market is there for an alternative that plays in the spring, utilizing the old football rules (old kickoff location, old extra point location, old pass interference rules, no targeting, laxer roughing the passer, etc). Utilizing in-game ads rather than lengthy commercial breaks between possessions (commercial breaks would only occur during reviews, timeouts, quarter breaks, and halftime) would shorten games.

Such a league could have greater variety of offensive schemes like spread run, air raid, triple option, power I, pro-form, etc.

They could have cheep concessions and sell beer.

If they offer contracts to students straight out of high school, they could have an in.

I think doing this in smaller markets where there is little pro presence like Birmingham, , .
