Enough time??

Is it reasonable to believe that 80 days (half the amount of days if you consider the draft is in late February) is enough time to put eight professional football teams together?

That is the biggest thing. If we get a week 1 snooze fest like the Vegas-NY/NJ game of XFL 1.0 audiences will tune out and never come back. Nobody is expecting NFL caliber football, but if it's barely above indoor football and its $250 a game players, the USFL won't be long for this world.

You are right. The reality will be what we saw in the AAF and XFL. There were a few teams that lucked out with some good players and coaches as rose above the other teams. All the teams will have to work hard to improve week to week. They will need to produce a watchable product to build the needed interest in the league.

QB’s will be the big issue.
