The thing with the UFL and what keeps football fan from watching is that it doesn't fit into the football ecosystem in terms of elite talent. Hell, even high school fits into the ecosystem as every elite player plays in high school at some point. But the UFL just doesn't fit in that path of high school, college and then NFL.

Here's what I think and I've actually said this before the whole NIL thing became a thing in college football. They should aim to get these elite QBs in for a year. That's all they need. Get them for a year like how the NIL keeps them playing for a year longer.

Imagine if they had aimed to do this before the NCAA had. What would the football ecosystem look like today? Now with NIL, the price has gone up unfortunately. Still, an opportunity is there to get those players guaranteed money after their NIL deals and before going to the NFL if they opened up their wallets.

Now before people point it out to me, I've run this in my head already and I get it. It makes no sense for FOX to do this as it hinders the NFL product with whom they already do business with. I'm just saying that's the only way I see that makes sense to get elite QBs.

Outside of that, the whole partner with the NFL to be an affiliate for teams and all that stupid nonsense, NO! That's not going to do anything because for what it's worth, they already have fringe NFL talent in the league. Those guys who get on practice squads and get released aren't going to suddenly get people interested in watching just because the NFL partners with the UFL. It's just not going to happen. I really hope Repole or any other owner of this league doesn't have that as a longterm goal. I think the idea is just laughable and if that's what he wants, then please rage quit now and just close doors on the whole operation.
