At least one college is advertising the fact one of its players is in the Fan Controlled Football League. (St. John's in Collegeville, Minnesota, where Johnny "Blood" McNally coached for three seasons 1950-1952.)

Update: Joe Montana is now an investor and advisor. Dalvin Cook is now a co-owner of a team. All four teams reached their fan investment quotas. Josh Gordon joins the Zappers next week.

I would like to give this a try but if it isn't on one of the 400 TV channels I get I guess I am not going to see it.
