The most common argument is a development league is not needed, because of college football but this argument is not true.

Other sports have development organizations so is football so great that it can consider itself above that?

Any player with potential will need time to develop, injuries being a later round draft choice can sometimes cause a player to not get the opportunity to develop, and now that the game has moved away from a single model style of play a player can switch positions much more comfortably and that opens up the opportunity for a professional team to look at the possibilities if they have vision, The future is now and now is the time for potential players and professional teams to look at what can be, not just what you currently see now but a players possiblities in the future ,The RDFL will grow into a four to six team academy development program the 2017 season has been reduced to six games, which will be somewhat the model of future games a six or eight game regular season that includes international games pushing the schedule to Ten total games.

The Fall season will consist of 4 games being of international statue, this season promotes the international education of american style football at the grass root level where many teams of international nature now play the sport.
