Ideally, Cuban's league should get underway a few weeks before the NFL preseason starts. Jump the gun and gain a fan base with unrivaled coverage. If they keep the game professional (XFL's biggest mistake), and offer a unique product (how about marketing the league as a more hard-nosed brand of football? The NFL has softened up the game in the past few years with it's roughing rules) I think there's a chance, albeit slight, for the UFL to thrive.
