The group that bought it is loaded (I'm curious how much Johnson actually put in - but it's good to get his name on it). I hope it succeeds, there's a big need for a minor league system. I went to a game last year and had a blast (got hammered!). It was a great atmosphere and I was planning to go to another game, but then.....the China virus happened.
The XFL unlike the other league that was being start, was actually in the black (not by much).. honestly wonder if the virus hadn't killed the season how well it would have done long term.
I still hope it fails. If it succeeds, it could kill colllege ball.
if being in the black is a good thing then how can that be racist?

of course being in the red is a bad thing. someone call E Warren and get her Tribe's opinion.

If you are Johnny 5-star, would you rather deal with the NCAA, studying, living in dorms, or would you rather go to XFL, and get $200k/year without all the nonsense.
No brainer.
my apologies. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.So now there's got to be a reason for something to be racist?
college kids get the equivalent of about 100K a year.If they pay $200K/year it will certainly fail. Salaries will have to be kept to a minimum, like $2000-$4000/week max (so they'd make around $24k-$60k depending on how long the season is, playoffs, pre-season, etc) for this to work. It wouldn't be a league (like the CFL) where a player could last more than 2 seasons (for it to succeed). Unless they land some lucrative TV deal they certainly won't pay big salaries from gate receipts.
