    1. Growing popularity of football - The crickets IPL didn't popularized cricket (attendence of one day and test cricket getting lower) , it just popularized itself. The new viewers this league will get is just because europian stars. After it ends they won't give a shit about I-league or FED Cup without those stars.

    2. Young indian players getting chance to play with foreign stars - Most good young players are already contracted with I-league clubs. so which-ever young player gets chance, they will be sh*t or just better than sh*t(except arrows players).

    So sh*t young players playing with stars thau too just for 2 months won't develop them much nor they will help indian football.

    3. Making football a pan india sport - For this one @sam u need first clarify what "pan India" is for you.

    I don’t think IMG-Reliance's tournament will at all be beneficial as far as Indian football is concerned - PK Banerjee

    <font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">“But what about our other players then? What will they do?” asks Tanna, completely ignoring the fact that playing in the IMG-R tournament may be a huge incentive for players to do better in the I-League and get noticed. It’s the same with the Ranji Trophy — players playing the domestic tournament are pushed to perform better and earn an IPL contract. And if a player does well in either tournament, then he could pull people to actually go and watch the I-League — something that most of us football fans rarely even consider doing on a regular basis. Plus, don’t forget Bhaichung Bhutia’s influence in this.

    Only valid point in that article - "IMG-R tournament may be a huge
    incentive for players to do better in the I-League and get noticed. It’s the same with the Ranji Trophy"

    Turn the I-league into Ranji Trophy,which no one watches or bothered about even hardcore cricket fans.

    Who needs bullsh*t Academies and youth development? The huge
    incentive to play in IMG league will develop them anyway.

    Does that writer even know that every expenses(player salarey too) of Ranji Trophy is paid by BCCI & local CA's?
