everything tex just said, i completely agree with (except the college part)

keep the teams close to home, because they are practicing with the main team, but put then out there in the surrounding areas

and the main downfall of nfl europe and the world league wasn't that they were developmental leagues, its that they were played in countries that don't give a shit about american football

the big hurdle to a real developmental league though is the NCAA, the aren't gonna loose they're cheap labor and cash cow without a huge fight
