[QUOTE="BZuppke, post: 1316473, member: 12358"] Count me as one of the skeptics. Where the money will come from is the big issue. Even if you get initial investors to get it started, they are not going to keep feeding cash in if this thing doesn't start producing a return. Add to that - who's going to watch? What network is going to carry the games? College football has great advantages: Loyal fans and alums of schools who will attend games, buy gear and watch on TV, even for teams that don't even win that much (ugh!). How do you create a fan base from scratch? Very challenging. I know I wouldn't invest in this thing even if I could. [/QUOTE]
