Make it a league for undrafted CFB players, AFL & CFL players looking for a step up in pay grade... NFL free agents that just can’t catch a break. Guys from other sports looking to make a transition. Hold legitimate open tryouts for common folk. Who knows how many Wahlbergs are out there. Make every live game available for online streaming. Make it exactly like the NFL, but with rule changes the fans actually want. Make the games PG-13 so every player can celebrate however they please. I would love this idea but how could they afford to overpay for average joes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what valuable information exactly could the players possibly take from this idea that would translate well in the NFL? If you think College's play style is hindering player development.....

Spoken like someone who never saw the original XFL, I take it? This is Vince McMahon we're talking about; he's not interested in helping the NFL or being the feeder. Vince will do his own thing and we'll end up with something similar to the Arena League-meets-Lingerie Football League slathered in a ton of modern ESPN (all flash and cliche, very little substance) sauce. The "scramble" to start the game that the original XFL had would never fly in today's game with the concussion issues. Vince was also big on having the players be identified by nicknames rather than their given names. In fact, a great number of the rules that were Vince's bread and butter to market the XFL last time would likely stunt a developing skill player's ability to make an NFL team were he to get a camp invite, because they're counter to the direction the NFL rules have gone since and would result in a guy accruing a ton of penalties which would be a surefire ticket to Cutsville.

If he makes anthem standing mandatory and it draws the conservative crowd, the NFL may follow suit. There will definitely be a Trump influence in the XFL. JR should commentate the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comcast owns NBC and they're not going to put the NFL Sunday Night Football contract at risk for something like the XFL which isn't going to get them near the ad revenue. Maybe Spike then?

Some teams should be designed to be babyfaces, and some teams heels. There would be announcers, but you would be able to better hear the sounds on the field. No instant replay challenges. Press conferences will be constant meltdowns and/or calling out their next opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
