[ExI] letter

[William Flynn Wallace]

Sure but why does it need to be **college** football?  Why don’t we have
minor league football? - spike

For that I think you would have to find a history of the AFL, which was a
minor league league.  I don't know the answers here, or what pushed them
into a merger-  probably $$$.  -  I also don't know how the Canadian
Football league works and what players they take.  But if a player is
outstanding, like that guy who plays basketball for Cleveland (??), they
will find a way for him to play.  I think Moses Malone was the first high
school player to go straight to the NBA.  bill w
