This league was going down with or without the pandemic, the ratings and attendance made it very obvious that it was a non-starter. How many businessmen need to set their money on fire before they realize that the "demand" for spring football just ins't there?

And it would've kept flailing around as a non-entity and he wouldn't get that precious TV deal, which was the endgame all along. Between this, the AAF and countless others, there's an obvious trend of spring football. The first week gets decent ratings because they schedule it the week after the Super Bowl and people aren't quite ready to give up football yet. Once they realize that the quality of play isn't very good, and the experimental rules are a bit too wacky for their tastes, interest rapidly falls off. By the time the Combine and free agency starts everyone is talking about the NFL again, and that weird other league is buried on the backburner. Then March Madness and MLB and the NBA playoffs come around and you can forget it. Spring football is the fetch of sports. It ain't happening, and unless you like losing money you should stop trying to make it happen.

Chapter 11 is just a fancier way of burning down the building to collect the insurance money
