I don't like some of the rules they're instituting and have a gut feeling they're using this as a testing ground for the NFL.
such as?

we’re getting rid of the kickoff for two reasons. One, it’s regularly considered one of the most dangerous plays in professional football. But the second reason is, if you look at almost any study of fans, they say the most boring play in a game is a kickoff. The least amount of stuff happens, it’s least likely to produce something interesting. So we’re getting rid of the kickoff, we’re going to start with the ball on the 25.
Obviously, if you get rid of the kickoff, you have to get rid of the onside kick. So what we’re doing… if you want to go for the equivalent of the onside kick, we will give you your ball on your own 35 and you’ll be facing 4th-and-10. If you convert, you keep going. If you don’t, you’re giving the ball back to someone knocking on your own red zone.

I believe Bill Polian (one of the founders) mentioned they could be used as a proving ground for certain rules and equipment in the NFL. I don’t know if it’s an arrangement with the league, but there are some transparency between the two.

As long as they have the college overtime rules, they already have better OT rules than the NFL.
Several guys that had cups of coffee with the Steelers on several of the rosters...
Timmy Lewis - Pitt grad and long time Packer is the Head Coach for Birmingham.
Some other big time Head Coach names also...Spurrier, Erickson, Martz, etc..
Should be interesting.
