Interesting start-up pro football league

Post by TG1996 »

Must be a college graduate with no eligibility remaining, games played on 8 campus sites.

Downside? The part about the campuses being Big Ten, SEC and ACC, and the host campuses banking $3-5 million....and the rich get richer. :?

$2-$3 million initially to buy a team. We can have everybody (minus Falconboy who is saving to buy an iPod or something) donate through Grants' PayPal account and come up with money in a few days. Then we move our team to BG.

PGY and I were talking and we think the University of Kentucky could be one of those SEC sites to have a team. Former UK president Charles Wethington is one of the people who helped to put this league together.

I saw two finnancial figures on this league that make me say hmmmmm-

Player minimum salary= $100,000
Ticket cost= $30


That is a recipe for failure if I have ever seen it.
