I don't see how changing to NFL rules helps the league at all. People would then just say it is just the minor leagues to the NFL and we have seen that minor league hockey, a sport much more popular gets barely anyone to the games, not sure why minor league football would be any better.
I know many would say that it is already minor league but I think the rules differences and history of having those rule differences is enough to distinguish the league from a typical minor league.
Unless changing the rules came with a massive injection of NFL money to prop up the league I think changing to NFL rules would actually hurt the league because it would alienate a number of the hardcore fans the league has.
