Would you watch minor league basketball/football?

[kschellenger]

Sammykid11 got me thinking when he suggested many cities could support minor league basketball and football.

There is no market for this anywhere.

Why? I"d watch minor league football. I'd be more into it if they played upper round picks, but I'd def watch it. Especially the Jets farm games...

Because unlike baseball, college football and basketball are hugely popular.

i agree. there are plenty of people who watch arena football games. minor league football would be the same, except better format, and hopes of seeing this years draft-picks in action.

Now that I thought about it I dont believe anyone would allow their draft picks to play in such a league. The risk for injury is way to high in the NFL and I bet many teams would rather "groom" a player thru practicing and coaching then minor league play.

Minor league football already exists. It's called arena football.

I'd rather pay $10 for good seats to see the local AFL2 team, then $100 for SRO seats at Foxboro.
