***Official AAF Discussion Thread***
The first games of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) are this weekend. I haven't followed it and at this point I'm not that interested. However, a friend called me all excited. He said CBS will be carrying all the games... that seems interesting. I seen an NFL Network logo on the AAF website... that seems interesting.
What's your take? Is your DVR set? Why should I care? https://aaf.com/schedule |

But the market is completely different. There’s more pro NFL teams. College football is ubiquitous. And sports fans have the NBA, NHL, and MLB to watch instead of spring minor league football. Last edited by Skyy God; 03-28-2019 at 07:57 AM.. |

Same. I’m convinced the only way you could make a spring league work is if the NFL is behind it and every pro team has their own minor league team as a developmental outlet. I would watch a Chiefs team in a developmental league even if they sucked. AAF and XFL? Meh.

It was pretty solid football. They need the NFL developmental guys though. Enough NFL fans would tune in then. Face enough people on here would jack off to one of the Chiefs scrubs that did good in that league.

I think this is a poor article, which has taken a throw away line putting 2+2 and making 7.
Why would they need NFL players? There are hundred of athletes every year without jobs. Why do they need the Detroit Lions third string QB? Is that going to be any better than what they have now. You are not going to get more interest by having NFL practice squad players, you've got former first round talent playing in the league. |

Even then, I don’t think it would have staying power. It’s just not great football. Any NFL team would smoke the best AAF team by 4 TD on a bad day(everybody here knows this, I’m making a greater point). You could say the same thing about any NCAA team, but expectations and experience change while investing time to watch professional sports, which by definition is supposed to be sports at its highest level. The only way I think something like this works is if you do it like minor league baseball and attach a develpomental team to it’s parent NFL squad.

At least for football it appears as though the NCAA will remain the NFL's AAA league.
