I'll answer that from my POV, doesn't mean it applies to anyone else.
1.) I like any given college game in the moment. But when I step back and think about the bigger context, in terms of both the college playoffs and in terms of the NCAA and colleges profiting off these young men, it turns me off. I watch a few games a year and that's it. The playoffs are a joke, and college football is scared of nothing more than having one of their power 5 teams upset in a playoff game by a "lesser" team. I just can't get with a league that chooses who has a shot at the championship by throwing a few people in a back room somewhere and just deciding. Decide it on the field or not at all.
2.) The best of the best of the best from college football make it to the NFL and we all love watching those guys. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail. Sometimes players develop in the NFL and become the players everyone hoped they could be. Sometimes, undrafted or late round guys get an opportunity and shine. But if you take the next cut, the second best guys from all the teams in college football, you'd have a league full of guys that could beat college teams. If those undrafted guys end up in the XFL, that's potentially a lot of talent worth watching. And yeah, I expect the NFL will poach from the XFL and I don't see that as a bad thing, just as I expect the XFL will poach guys like Tebow. Again, not a bad thing.
3.) I would like spring football. The NFL does their best to saturate the market, but something I've learned in the last couple years is that only happens because we allow it in our personal lives. I have had a lot of personal stuff happen to me in the last couple years that has cut into my football time quite a lot. And you know? Life without NFL Total Access is just fine. Not knowing or caring who is on Monday or Thursday night is a good thing. I watch the Texans. The rest of my NFL experience has reverted to pre-saturation levels. And I have found that I enjoy that. So when I say that I want spring football, I mean that I would rather watch a real game between two teams than watch a combine workout, the latest blotter report on NFLN, what player signed where today, or what three ex-players think about the Browns' chances to become a contender in 5 months because they just drafted some QB the prior weekend that they'll ruin anyway.
All that being said, I have no delusions that it'll actually take off. Whatever league ever forms to fill that void will have to stay in its lane. The USFL was for real but it was ruined by a few idiots, led by Trump, of course. But they had a real TV deal, a decent amount of money to work with (which they overspent), a truly solid talent level even beyond the superstars, and an undeniable appeal. It's not 1983 anymore, of course, so things have changed drastically. Nevertheless, I'd love to see a successful spring football league that does NOT challenge the NFL.
