I think that is a good idea. Individually owned teams is better than league owned teams. I wonder if and NFL owners would be allowed to purchase one???

The USFL and XFL are merging. If/when the deal is finalized, the combined spring leagues will pivot toward spreading equity beyond those who currently own the two operations.
Via Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, former Fox Sports executive vice president Larry Jones (who still serves a consultant to Fox) mentioned during a Columbia sports management conference that, in three years, the unified spring league will “go out to sell teams.”
Fox owns the USFL, and a group led by Dany Garcia and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson own the XFL. It’s unclear what the combined league will look like, who will own it, how many teams it will have, where the games will be played, and which networks will televise the games.
The far more important question is whether one spring league will fare better together than two did individually. While they each survived, neither created the impression that it thrived.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
