The league ran by Gil Brandt went bankrupt 2/3 of the way thru it's first season.

Unless it will be a developmental league (like the World League of American Football) it has zero -- zero chance to succeed.

Then it will only succeed but NFL owners and GMs can see if guys on the practice squad can develop enough to jettison guys who are big hits on the salary cap but on the tail end of actual production.
