And in any case, I think there's enough pent-up football energy in SA to support both college and minor league football.

I understand what you are saying, but my post wasn't directed at whether SA can financially support the UFL and college football, but rather that whether their games are on M, T, W, Th, F, S, or Su, people are less likely to go to both events. Both UFL and UTSA will be marketing hard because they will both be upstarts. UTSA is going to need all of the money and attention they can to get to where they want to be.
I really hope that a UFL team wouldn't affect it much. I wouldn't expect it to hurt it too much unless the UFL is able catch some momentum over the next couple of years.
I'm sure that most people are more interested in UTSA football.
