[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1316232, member: 8500"] I mean, yeah it could kill NCAA football, but it would take a long time. At least 10-15 years IMO. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but when college football was king in the early 1900's, it took professional football a long time to gain traction. It was actually a disaster for at least 10-15 years. I'm sure someone on here knows more about the beginning of professional football. But of course the NFL was setup to coincide with college football. This league, on the other hand, wants to replace college football eventually. Ultimately, money talks. If enough people are ready to invest in it long-term then it can succeed eventually. [/QUOTE]
