This could be a viable option for kids who don't want to play college but want professional experience.

Excellent point and love this in so many regards ... there are a number of guys who have no business being on colllege campuses .... without diverting this thread to socioeconomic politics... what a great alternative to college ball for those guys with zero interest in school... really hope it succeeds

No senior coming out of high school is ready to play professional football. Also none that have real talent would risk injury in some semi pro league for 80k per year. There’s a lot more cons than pros if this were even an option. A real talent will not play in that kind of league even if they hate school.
