But why not have a team in Florida with players that went to the Florida Schools, same with California (maybe even Southern Cal and Northern Cal) , or Oregon/Washington/Boise and call it the PNW team, Texas, Arizona etc.
do 8 teams that way, have these NCAA former stars still representing the people that cheered for them. There will be plenty of known guys for people that watch NCAA football, which is a huge audience

This.
They need to do something to get people to care. Building on built in college loyalties would help. You have to remember, people already care deeply about high school, college and NFL football. This can be good football but people need to have some kind of rooting interest.
Maybe cities without NFL teams is an option too?
