Lots of interesting info with some speculation here.

the USFL has what they feel are prospective buyers lined up for the city names they chose. Several sources have indicated that Birmingham, Houston, and New Jersey might be the first teams in the league to secure ownership groups. The league is willing to stay in Birmingham, as long as they have to until all franchises are sold. If that means three teams moving into their markets in 2023, while the others remain in Birmingham for the foreseeable future. The USFL will keep pushing along.

If you’re a sophomore and in the transfer portal you take that. Get paid for a year against some former pro talent and then go into the draft - or would they even have to go to the draft?

ATM laughs at those numbers.

And take a pay cut?

They would still have to go in the draft
Given how disastrous the last XFL run was in terms of going bankrupt and trying to use the active contracts as collateral (and thus not releasing players to play in other leagues), I don’t there’s going to be many examples of players making this move, especially now that they are competing with money that can be visible

So the team's city names are just aspirational.

Good. We need a real pro football franchise in town. Bring Jim Kelly back for recognition once we’re playing in the city.

They aren’t going to get some program’s starters, but they can get some talent that isn’t getting those big nil deals or doesn’t want to have to compete. It won’t be a mass exodus but I’m willing to bet some guys dip out.

A scholarship to a major university including room/food is worth more than $50k/yr.
Plus you might be able to get a job when you realize you aren't going to make the NFL.
