I think some of that will come to fruition--primarily the NFL-D league.

Football's popularity is soaring and the NFL Network will seek to gobble up more and more product.

They'll institute a rule like MLB has. You either go NFL-D or NCAA for 3 years right out of HS. For NFL-D kids who skip the NCAA (like Clowney or Nkimdiche), they'll need to stay in the D-league for 2 minimum years before being "called up." There will be an early July draft for D-league players. The D-league season can go from March to June, when there is zero competition between the Big Show (NFL) and the NCAA--to which many people will still be fiercely loyal.

The TECH league idea is weird. If the TECH league beats the NFL to the punch, then it could fly. But there can't be two "minor league professional" levels as financially viable options.
