If there was a reasonably well funded university comp (10 rounds) that got televised on FOX/KAYO could it not be a bit of a game changer for RL?
You could tap into the Uni WOKE factor by having scholarships for the women's team (as well as men's).
Spend a bit of money promoting it.
Sydney Uni has tens of thousands of students and then they become alumni. Lots of them are probably sports fans and have "espirite de corps" but no university league team to care about.
but could RL drop its "working class" image that has held it back and left the door open for AFL and Rugby.
They could have NSW Uni's v QLD Uni's as part of rep round.
Then Australian Unis tour of NZ or England.
