I really don't. XFL failed, but they said this would be different, but it wont. Everyone knows and loves the NFL and knows all the players and it's way better.
End.

A few years ago the USFL was started and had some notable players on their rosters. But it ultimately failed and the NFL continued on. A couple of years back the XFL started up and failed. I don't really think the UFL can come even close to competing with the NFL. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry and is the strongest of all the major sports in North America. The NFL is the place for the best football players to play, not some fly by night league. I will not be watching any UFL games.

No, it might last a season or two and will probably be more legit than the XFL but the NFL has it's legacy and nobody will ever be able to match that. The problem with these leagues is they try to be as big as the NFL from the start. It will never wotk that way, you have to due you time and pay you dues. Pick up some halfway descent players pay them mabey 20grand a season tops and get someone like Vs. to televise you championship game.
PS the AFL doesn't really compete with the NFL in that its played in the spring and uses a diferent sort of player.

It will have more success than the XFL, but the fact of the matter is that the talent and level of play will not be on par with the NFL. According to Mark Cuban, the UFL will attract players that typically enter the NFL Draft and are selected in the later rounds. The UFL is hoping for a Tom Brady type of player to slip through the grips of NFL franchises. Although that could happen, the caliber of talent will be significantly less than the NFL and could be a league for younger players to showcase their talent in order to make it to the NFL. That's how I will see the purpose of the UFL if formed.

I believe that the proposed UFL cannot compete with the NFL. The NFL is to well known and has to many big names that people are attracted to go see. I believe that the UFL will become the new NFL europe. I believe that teams will see the finiancial benefit of sending players to these teams and treating them like the farm systems in baseball. This way the NFL teams will get the interest from cities which will result in more money for the NFL teams.

Maybe if they plan to have more than 8 teams, the NFL has 32 teams but if they only have 8 teams then no they won't stand a chance against the NFL. The UFL should be called XFL2. Its a mistake to play UFL games games on only Friday night because it will interfere with high school football games.

First of all, the XFL was nothing but gimmicks.
Will the UFL be able to compete? Maybe. Maybe some of the teams - Los Angeles and San Antonio - will eventually be absorbed into the NFL.

To compete with the NFL you have to play at the same time as the NFL. You wold have to be patient. 5 or 6 years to establish your league. You would have to be cheaper to see. You would need TV contracts. You would need markets the NFL doesn't have as well as some major markets they are in. The average fan can;t really tell the difference in skill levels from one league to the next. If the announcers don't tell you a player isn't up to the NFL standards you might not know it if he looks good in the league he's in. The ufl could compete with the NFL, but they really need to play Sundays and let the most exciting game win.

I don't know what the UFL is, but nothing can compete with the NFL, it's history, the Super Bowls, etc. It's where the greatest football players in the world are, it's where all the money is, nothing will change that.

didn't they try this like almost 25 years ago with the usfl
it failed
don trump tried to buy a championship but couldn't
he had Doug Flutie and Hershel walker but still didn't win the big game
it was 4 or 5 all stars on each team and the rest were undrafted college players.
only a few teams made money and it went bust in 3 years
they also won a major law suit against the NFL and thought they were going to get big money but the judge awarded them 1 dollar
no i don't think any other league will ever take off
it would be good thing if it could be looked at as a minor league type of deal for has beens and younger players to get a shot and if the teams were in towns that don't have NFL teams like the cfl did back in the 90's
