RedZone Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 This thing could possibly take off this time and expand with the right management, and promotion.......lots of good players around. Might be fun! Fox Sports The USFL's 20 national over-the-air broadcast windows will exceed the number for any regularly scheduled sport in the first half of 2022, according to the league. The newly constituted USFL is controlled by Fox Sports and not affiliated with the original organization, which had a short but tumultuous run in the 1980s.

The Transfer Portal could be an USFL tool. "In a break from traditional football thinking, the USFL will allow any player to be eligible if they’ve graduated from high school in 2020 or earlier. In theory, a player can opt out of college after two years and join the league. This caveat is something to keep an eye on especially in the age of the NCAA transfer portal." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The return of Bandit Ball!

I wonder how long before they decide to allow kids straight out of high school? They aren't requiring a college degree already, so, it isn't a stretch to think some kids that maybe won't get NIL deals in college just bypass it altogether. Seems like the next step anyway.

What's that got to do with anything I said? There has been the XFL (2001), UFL (2009-12), AAF (2019), New XFL (2020), and now the two-cent USFL (2022). Oh, and then there's the New New XFL next Spring (2023). They all come, they all go. and then a new spring league starts up to supposedly learn the lessons of the other failures. Spoiler: they never do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the league name, but more confusing is them using so many of the same team names. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 This might be the stupidest of the Spring leagues too. All of the teams are playing their games in Birmingham. So what's the significance of being the New Orleans Breakers but never playing in New Orleans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
