This is a great opportunity for player development. Will be interesting to see what becomes of this league. It's not trying to compete w/ the NFL/CFL/AFL. It's trying to help players develop so they can get picked up by one of the real leagues.
There are 4 teams w/ 40 man rosters that will play 6 total games each (2 games vs. each of the other 3 teams). Players receive room & meals, but no pay.
