Actually (though I can't accuse myself of ever having thought about it before) I confess I am now mildly curious about the relative brevity of the NFL season, especially given how commercial the sport is. British and other national soccer authorities are perpetually looking for ways to milk the cash cow a bit harder, so why not NFL?

There is a thriving college league in American football, professional in all but name, which draws very big crowds. Is the narrowness of the season window in part to allow the college players to study?
