They could trying going spectatorless like the NCAA is doing for basketball. The difficulty will be that tv rights are a huge moneymaker for the NCAA with ticket sales being some extra gravy on the top. The XFL gave away the tv rights for free to promote the new league. While they have planned to lose money for several years, ticket sales and in game concessions was to help offset the expense. Don't know how much this will increase their burn rate but it certainly won't help.
