They have given us a great blueprint for something that could work. Why don't we plan on starting it back up when more favorable times come once again. That would give us almost a full year to build a strong foundation and get it right this time. Can begin by soliciting owners in key cities, starting with an AZ team (maybe the Outlaws or Gunslingers), to buy in with large deposit to secure a franchise in their city. (Important tbat all franchises be locally owned by those very important and with ties to their community leaders with deep pockets.

All of these start up leagues prior to this last one failed because they ran out of money before a profit could be realized. That will not happen if the ultra rich are involved, rather than one main guy trying to start up and fund the initial costs. To assure long term success it is a must to begin right out of the box being over funded. Thus the initial 8-12 franchise owners will each be required to dedicate 100 million dollars, with 20 million dollars being the initial option price to purchase a franchise.

With the right amount of funding, and with a sure fire blueprint developed, success will be assured for the long term. An American football league which is a true stepping stone between college to the pros. Great televised football year round for the fans. Let's face it - we all want it, players want it, many cities want it, networks want it, America wants it.

America doesn’t want or need it. The XFL stands were damn near empty and it was pretty much laughed at by sports media. How many times has this failed?

Economic hits just keep coming

Vince McMahon is getting hit hard AF. Even before this the WWE was losing money and now having all live events including Wrestlemania canceled( it was held at the performance center with no crowd) they might not survive to much longer

She hasn't been the head of the SBA for a bit now. He official exit was (I think) yesterday but some other lady has been running things for a while now.

XFL was doomed from day 1. Any league not named NFL will suffer the same fate.
