Bottom line is people love football and there are plenty of hardcore fans who will tune in to a minor league during the offseason.

The questions have always been how many will watch when the basketball tournament starts and how many will come when the weather is terrible.

The AAF's ratings were roughly double to triple what they hoped for on CBSSN and NFLN. CBS and Turner were happy enough with how the games were doing that they were pulling games from BR Live and CBSSN to CBS and TNT.

Overnight Nielsen Ratings stated that the league-opening regionally televised games on CBS were the highest rated telecast of the night in the key demographic, drawing more viewers than an NBA game on ABC in the same time slot. In overall viewers, both the AAF and NBA lost to a rerun of America's Got Talent: The Champions on NBC. The NFL Network telecast that week secured 640,000 viewers.[12] With these comparatively strong initial viewership statistics, the Week 2 ratings were highly anticipated in the interest of developing trended data. In Week 2, the afternoon and evening games on Saturday, February 16, reportedly attracted 1,018,000 and 425,000 viewers, respectively, in addition to the Sunday evening game on February 17 drawing 424,000 viewers. Week 3's NFL Network games drew 491,000 and 515,000 viewers, benefiting in part due to a counterprogramming effort against the 91st Academy Awards.[105] Week 4's ratings were largely consistent with those of week 2, with the two NFL Network games that week securing ratings of 404,000 and 450,000 viewers, comparable to college basketball and NHL telecasts on the other sports networks. The disparity between the afternoon and evening games is consistent due to increased competition during primetime hours and the higher market penetration of CBS and TNT compared to NFL Network and CBS Sports Network, the latter of which does not register a rating in the Nielsens.

In March 2019, building upon these ratings successes, both CBS and TNT added games to their packages; TNT added two additional Saturday afternoon games previously scheduled for B/R Live (which would air special Skycam-only broadcasts of the games as a companion instead), while CBS announced that it would shift two games from CBS Sports Network to broadcast television, including a regular season game on April 6, 2019 (which would have led towards CBS's broadcast of the 2019 NCAA Final Four), and one of the conference championship games. However, due to the suspension of football operations, these games were left unplayed.

The ratings will be fine. The long term viability will depend on if Vince can weather the early losses he will incur due to it being a start up league. The AAF didn't die b/c of lack of interest. It died b/c they picked the wrong people to back it financially. So long as Vince doesn't suddenly go broke the XFL should be able to last for the initial 3 years he has funded.

Houston is BR with a better skyline, pleb
