Pop quiz hot shot: which of the four major professional sports leagues in North America does not have a minor/developmental league? That would be our favoriteist: the NFL. Major League Baseball has had a minor league/farm system for ages. The National Hockey League uses the American Hockey League as a developmental system. The National Basketball Association has the D-League. The National Football League… sorry.
Folks, I don’t know about you, but I believe that this gross oversight needs to change and change yesterday. There are a number of reasons that an NFL Developmental League would be good for both the sport and its fans.
