The newest professional football league is gearing up to begin it's innagural season and has already received mixed reviews before the first snap. The idea that ex-college players can get a second chance at the NFL makes for a great story and should be entertaining. The only problem is if you are not a fan of the state named school, you are left without a team. Does any Auburn fan really want to purchase a crimson hat and t-shirt that is eerily similar to that of the "Unavusity" apparel? Do they want to hear "Yea Alabama", and "Roll Tide" every time Team Alabama scores? Or see the team run out of a megasized houndstooth hat with highlight reels from the 60's and 70's blaring on the jumbotron?Maybe a little more effort to involve the other major division schools would have made it a little easier to swallow.
That being said, it's still a pretty brilliant concept, just a dumb way to sell it.
