Brad Shepard brings up a good point about the 2020 start date:

One interesting point yet to be mentioned on a 2020 start date – The NFL labor deal expires after the 2020 season. This could give the XFL an opportunity to go after NFL players after its first season, depending on how it plays out. https://t.co/96ztF6RTX7

Marcus Mosher has some advice on how the league can be successful:

Listen.. if the XFL was smart, the first thing they have to do is bring in some quality, big-name QBs.

Bring in Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, Johnny Manziel, etc.
