The USFL was doing reasonably well with spring football, and died only when it tried to go head-to-head with the NFL in the fall. And back then, you couldn't watch 60,000 college games on a given weeknight.
The XFL was a complete cluster**** that still might have survived if it hadn't been so reliant upon NBC.
Honestly, this league makes the XFL look sensible.
