Quote:There you go.  Now what kind of 4-5 star recruits would ever go to those league and earn a couple hundreds dollar every two weeks when they can learn the game and play for renown college coaches, while getting an expense free education?

 

A D-league for those who went undrafted after college because they needed more seasoning could make sense.  However, a D-leage for the 18-21 year old prospects?  You might as well go watch high school football or Div III, because that's the quality you will get. 

 

Football isn't like other sports i.e. soccer and football.  Typical 18-19 year old aren't physically and mentally developed enough for the game without proper coaching.  They simply cannot play professional level at 18-19. 

 

If you have a good level of upfront investment, bringing in "renowned" coaches is easy.  The quality of play is a function of the quality of players and coaches recruited.  High upfront investment should give enough credibility to attract both.  College football fans understand they are watching players develop.  There is no reason why any other d-league couldn't find fans who also appreciate watching guys develop their talents.
