CFL- XFL merger

[*Nately120*]

The NFL having 32 NFL-branded minor league teams wouldn't really factor into the CFL/XFL merger. If they really wanted to go that route they'd be better off just waiting for the CFL to fold. As it stands now, the CFL has 9 active teams/brands and rosters and the XFL (I assume) has 0 players under contact, so even if they became the NFL minor league they'd still be 23 rosters worth of players short at the moment.

I'm just saying the CFL/XFL becoming an NFL affiliate doesn't make sense because the NFL would be buying 9 CFL teams/brands and however many XFL teams/brands just to immediately phase them out and reassign the players to various NFL minor league rosters. I'd say the main goal of the merger is to infuse some American dollars/interest/TV rights into the mix...I think we're just talking about two very different things with the minor league system and the CFL/XFL existing as a separate entity.
