    Yes Trump was the most powerful owner in the USFL back in the 80's. He started spending big money for the top players coming out of college like Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie. That was not the leagues original business model.
    Trump caused the other owners to spend big money for star players even though they couldn't afford it. So when teams started failing, Trump (primarily him) and the owners concocted a strategy to play in the fall ( they originally played in the spring) and position themselves to sue the NFL for being a monopoly.
    The jury found for the USFL and awarded them $3.00. That's right, a measly $3.00. The jury basicall concluded that the NFL was a monopoly but the USFL suffered no financial damages because of it. They failed because of their own irresponsible spending.

    Something Trump was part of failed because of irresponsible spending?

    Blasphemy. It must have been fake football news.

    CONFEDERATE LEAGUE

    No replays, no roughing calls, winning team takes 100% of gate.

    1 rule, all players must be 21 and any felony arrests are automatic 86ed. You stand for anthem or you don't play. Rushing and defense emphasized, passing difficult.

    Games would be capped much tighter, making gambling addictive

    Yeah really. I heard that people get $20 for every 2000 views . So if you get a million views, that's $500 dollars.

    Some people with their own channels have many videos getting many views. It adds up.

    Just don't get how youtube can afford it when most people have youtube adblock. I'm sure the advertisers aren't too thrilled with it.

    By all means start a confederate league. The participation trophies are all going into storage now anyway -so no cost to getting those re-purposed.

    Which anthem will you play? Will it be that banjo song from Deliverance or just the first 12 notes of Dixie played on a 69 Charger horn?

    I'm not trying to exploit stereotypes about southern states I'm just saying that it could be viable based on college attendance and fandom in the region....leading to other regions to buy in

    My kid brother is in the Air Force. He says that the biggest on base liabilities are people from Louisiana. He refuses to give anyone from Louisiana a greater responsibility than standing still and not talking to anyone. Some great people from Louisiana, but the state's IQ Bell Curve is not pretty.

    Not even enough qb's for the nfl, so many unwatchable games because of it.

    No league has any shot unless somehow they had ridiculous money and could take players from the nfl.

    If college football was on Sundays I would gladly watch it instead of the nfl right now. It isn't about quality or a rebel slant or something like that. Just play hard and don't act like dumb whiny thugs and a lot of people would watch inferior football to not support the nfl

    Didn't the XFL have that well thought out idea of allowing the QB's to basically be fair game? That worked out well when everyone was starting their 4th stringer by mid-season.

    I think u guys are ignoring the difference here. People will watch it to keep from watching the nfl. This is a completely different environment with different motivations
