>I think the big problem with the XFL is that NFL fans didn't buy the Extreme part of the title. I think that college football fans would watch a lower-tiered league to see some of their favorite college players that didn't quite make the draft. At least it would provide more drama for ESPN's front page.

I think though, that it's hard to make a good buck on 2nd rate quality. There will always be the die-hard fans who will go out to watch anything, and when you have a 500 seat venue, the stands will be filled and it'll seem like the Rose Bowl, but stretch that out to a 20 or 30 thousand seat venue, and it starts to look pretty sparse.

Fans are pretty fickle, and I think once the players fail to make the grade for the Show, the fans will drop them pretty quickly.

Triple-A baseball is probably a good example of that.
