Because second-tier pro football is cut from whole cloth, whereas FCS is established. The question wasn't "can pro football work in the spring" it's "are people going to watch a new minor-league pro football league," and the answer to that has been a consistent "no," including fall leagues.

I don't see a regular spring season working but I also don't think the people willing to watch FCS in the fall suddenly wouldn't in the spring.

FCS football is also not established in the spring against those other entities.

But FCS has an established following against their stiffest competition (FBS football). You think their attendance and ratings drop against lesser competition? I can't speak for anyone else but I think I'd be a lot more likely to watch JMU-Delaware or North Dakota State-South Dakota State on a Saturday in April than a Saturday in October when there's so many better games happening.

No. Just no.
Stop trying to change something that does not need to be changed.

How much of FCS said no to a spring season?

Nah. When an FCS wins it should count.
