If you go look at the rosters for the AAF football league

that's kicking off this weekend, it quickly becomes evident that this is a way for guys who haven't been able to find any gainful employment since they left college 5-10 years ago get a paycheck for some part-time work. I'm anticipating this league will generate a level of excitement akin something like to getting a new title at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

through the years, don't remember the various leagues. All teams, and I think all the leagues, folded after 1, at most 2, years. I don't think any of them had even a D1 alum, maybe a couple DII-III's, but mostly HS players who 1) just couldn't give it up 2) had some dream they'd be discovered.

Seems like it would be entertaining, but it's mostly just sad.

Maybe this one you mentioned is higher on the food chain. But still mostly just sad.
