I think it would be good to have a non FFS tour and a FFS tour, kinda surprised NPFL hasn't gone this direction, I don't believe they are getting subsidized by the sonar companies like BASS and MLF are. If the big sonar players are pulling back on MLF sponsorship this could be a trigger for this to happen. What they need is a legends tour..... so the old guys can just watch that and shut up about what the other tours do. The sponsor line up would be great. The “Aleve” heavy hitter on Lake Fork presented by Depends. Really work those sponsors in- “yeah my power poles stuck great in that mud thanks to the Viagra wrapped skeeter”. "I could have never won this without using my Centrium Silver daily vitamin. Also, be sure to check out my Dr. Scholl's signature series footwear inserts!"

Well think of the Fans they would draw in all the no love FFS people that currently hate BPT... Those people will now like BPT and now hate BASS. And those currently hate the format now will start saying the format is awesome. And no more #FBD hats, instead #XFFS. And what will TFF do with the reduced amount of posts about anglers that are only good because of FFS. i mean it would be a downward spiral for the fishing community.
I dunno just my thoughts. Nah, the hate for MLF runs deep... It would be suicide to ban FFS... I don't and will never have it and could care less if anyone else has it either... And yes I fish tournaments... Dan

 would it? I think you underestimate how many see it as cheating, and I'm not just talking about those in the trenches of the industry, I'm talking about the general public.

General public is irrelevant. Their fan base is what matters and they need fresh blood as the anti FFS is slowly dying off of old age.

I think a legends tour would be awesome. Put them on some of the best lakes do 5-6 tournaments a year keep it a 30-40 person event, fish 3 days, mic them all and have as much coverage as you can plus only allow technology up to 2012 or something. Keep them in their old school element. Bring Denny, Larry, Roland, etc.

The money would have to be right to get those guys back on the road even if only for 5-6 events.
