Will see you in bankruptcy, UFL

I love football but I haven't been able to get into watching it in the spring. Despite all of the competition, I think the way to go is for the UFL to move to playing in the fall. And develop direct ties to the NFL, like a triple A minor league format. Run it like the NBA G League with some players from each team under a two way contract with NFL teams. This is the best way to develop talent, especially QB.

Of course, if the TV contract is only available if they play in the spring then playing in the fall just isn't going to happen.

“College” football is the G league for the NFL. No one needs or wants the UFL

You ever see an NFL game with one or both teams starting a backup QB?
