Mostly money, even on a small level it costs a lot to put these games on... 20K stadiums? that would be like a small college or something... most NFL stadiums are 40K+.

The costs to put this one and wanting to make a profit... and they wouldn't get much for the tickets, leaves little to pay the players. Which means you wont get a lot of x-college players, who can make more money and put their bodies at less risk using their college degree to get a job.

the physical toal/risk on a football player is high, it's not like baseball players who are willing to spend time in A, AA, AAA trying to make it big on little pay and long buss rides, the risk for a football player is huge.
