That would certainly make it different enough, but I would guess they could cut the time back by simply making quarters last 10 minutes. I like the idea of it being soccer style though. Halftime seems almost necessary though so coaches can make adjustments, players can receive treatments, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer to pay kids coming out of high school, move from there. That's the best talent base option they are gonna get. Big college programs already pay the kids along with other stuff. I know one 1-A coach who told me that he lived in a mansion but never stepped foot on the second floor because that is where the recruits stayed. I can't imagine the NCAA ratings are in much better shape than the NFL but the large alumni bases might be stickier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still makes the NFL easily more watched than any prime time show. IIRC, ratings for Sunday night games were something like 30% better than ratings for the #2 prime time show (Big Bang Theory, I think). I've read a number of sports biz articles that think the lack of star power had at least as much to do with declining ratings as the kneeling controversy. Lot of markets like Green Bay lost their star qb this year. Apparently, casual fans don't tune in as much when the big names are out. Cord cutting is probably the #1 factor. I think its getting to the point where I know more people without cable than with it. It is the same exact thing going on with ESPN. Their market share is pretty much the same, but so many people have cut off their cable the raw numbers are much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If Vince's expectations are low and he goes with college kids who want a fast track to the NFL, it might work. It really is his only shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew Pitino ran a dirty program for decades but nobody spoke up because of all the money floating around college sports. I get the biggest surprise out of those who are upset when this stuff blow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I guess one way to make it faster is also a sorter play clock. Make everyone line up within 20 seconds like Oregon. Of course everyone would be dead by the 4th lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Man, Vince was like a doll who could only say two things: 1) We're going to listen to football experts to shape the league 2) We're going to give fans what they want Honestly, as a fan of football, I don't know what the fuck I want other than just football. Maybe the college OT system instead of the NFL one. Shorter quarters. Maybe lighter pads to deter players from being overly reckless. I don't know. This is just shit I'm making up. I basically just want to see the fucking guy with the football throw the thing to the other guy to make a catch and score TDs. My biggest question really is...will I be able to play another fantasy football league with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Johnny Manziel would have been the perfect original XFL player. A short guy just running like hell slinging the ball with no regards at all. Then after scoring a TD he runs to the sideline, takes a bottle of Jack Daniels and tries to snort a line of coke off one of the "cheerleaders" tits. Unfortunately Tim Tebow might be the ideal person Vince wants in XFL 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
