Some of those had success and a number of great players came from a few of them. It just has to be done the right way with a smaller focus and in areas that will support something like this because that's all they've got OR they're just a crazy fanbase that will support a cheaper football fix during the offseason.

I think it depends on how you define "success".

If you're talking about monetary success, then no.

If you're talking about developmental success, then yeah, there were more than a few.

Historically, that's proven to be impossible.

I don't think the new XFL changes that history.

The snowflakes crying about the anthem will tune in for the first 5 minutes, soak in the enjoyment of everyone standing, then promptly turn the channel.

No, I was referring to players as successes... and I think a spring league would take a decade to produce any real profit. I do not believe the XFL could be that spring league though.
