New pro league plays to college football fans

by Michele Hriciso

Just days after the demise of NFL Europa, the All American Football League is beginning its tryouts at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

Scheduled to launch in the spring of 2008, the new league’s teams will be based in Florida, Alabama and other areas with a strong college football fanbase.

Using players who have already graduated and used up their college eligibility, the league will play mostly by college rules. Team colors will match those of popular college teams in their areas, and the plan is to have players play near where they played in college. Games will be held on college football fields.

It’s a different approach than other pro leagues have taken, and I have a feeling that it just might work a little better than past approaches. I’m interested.
