So what are the chances the XFL even happens now, like really amazingly bad? It seemed slim before, and now they'll be left with AAF leftovers.

Also, gently caress yeah, the schiano rule.

Also, also, whatever happened to that spring league that was supposed to have already started, did it mutate into the AAF starting next year?

Major League Football (MLFB) announced in early 2016 and then said no actually 2016 is only a "development year" and then kinda disappeared

Professional Football League (PFL) announced late last year that they would be starting Spring 2018 but it's almost spring and I don't think there's been anything but a press release

If any of them actually materialize to the point where there's televised games I would say at least one of them gets a second season.

Basically the scoring team can decide to give the ball to the offense on the 25, or try for a 4 and 10 on their own 35.

Ok I might have to give this a shot now because that sounds great.

Pretty soon we'll reach a point where the wrong way of using over/under becomes the correct way.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Still nothing about the A-11 offense being legal, still not interested.

The GDFL

-12 minute quarters
-College overtime rules, but possessions start at the 35 rather than the 25.
-All touchbacks are to the 25, including punts.
-Greg Schiano rules on kickoffs
-All PAT's are still run from the 3 whether the team is going for 1 or 2, but goal post is 40% narrower
-Extremely wide hash marks, several feet wider than college. Wide enough that short side/long side of the field has to be strongly taken into account in playcalling.
-If the offense commits a penalty that would traditionally be enforced as "half the distance to the goal", defense has the option to add penalty yardage to the yards-to-go instead. (Example: 1st and 10 from the 7 yard line, a holding penalty makes it 1st and 20 from the 7 yard line, if defense so chooses).
-Offensive fumble through opponent's endzone results in loss of down and ball being placed back at the 25, but not loss of possession.
-Leather helmets

Eight franchises are awarded to Evangelical megachurches, broadcast and streaming rights are held by TBN. Broadcasts include a lot of pre-recorded material of players sharing their testimonies, ministries they're involved in, etc. Top two teams in regular season standings meet in the "Sanctity of Life Bowl". There is no salary cap.

Why do you have to have this rule sorted out in a league where passing will be minimal?

Why choose between them? Have a traditional ball, a black ball, and a (other) in play!

if the (other) is, like, neon stripes that fluoresce under blacklight, I am totally on board with this

even better if the blacklight comes on at random times throughout the game, and scoring with the neon ball during those times gives that team a score multiplier, but the other team can use the other balls to take away their opponent's points so this doesn't get too golden-snitch

players must also leap through a wall of pyro to score

I'll take my twenty-five million dollars for that little innovation in the form of a dump truck full of cash backed up to my doorstep if you please, Mr. McMahon
