Apparently the league will be using NCAA rules and will operate outside of high school athletic association guidelines. That means players will get a chance to use their NIL for profit.<\/p>\n<p>Per the AP report, the goal is to recruit local four and five-star athletes for teams in 12 cities, including Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/sopranos-landmarks-north-jersey\/\">New Jersey<\/a>, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and Tampa.<\/p>\n<p>Woods says he wants to give the young players a genuine 11-on-11 experience that can&#8217;t be found at All-Star camps.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you look at 7-on-7, you look at these camps, at the end of the day, none of them are 11-on-11 football&#8230; None of them are going to give a quarterback, for instance, in a 7-on-7 situation, a live pass rush. So if you\u2019re looking to evaluate players in an actual football context, that\u2019s what this league is about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The league&#8217;s inaugural season is scheduled to take place next spring beginning on April 19 and running through May 24.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More football stories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usatodayhss.com\/2023\/usc-football-adds-a-trio-of-4-star-recruits-to-class-of-2024\">USC adds three 4-star recruits to class of 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usatodayhss.com\/lists\/recruiting-roundup-4-star-qb-to-texas-among-latest-commitments\">4-star QB to Texas among latest commitments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Woods says he wants to give the young players a genuine 11-on-11 experience that can&#8217;t be found at All-Star camps.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305367"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=305367"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":305368,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305367\/revisions\/305368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=305367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=305367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=305367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
