Research Project

I'm doing a research project in one of my classes this quarter and the
main subject is Ultimate and wether or not it would work/fit in as a
major mainstream sport in the U.S. Half of my project involves the
opinions of ultimate players and those in the ultimate community and
i'd appreciate anyone giving their two cents in response to my
questions.

1) Would ultimate work as a mainstream (NCAA/Pro, on TV, pay to
attend) sport in America?

 If Yes: 2) Would the players/rules(especially
observers/refs)/anything be different than it is today.
         3) What kind of influence would major sports fans bring?
   
 If No:  2) Why not?
         3) What changes would need to be made to make it work?

4) If it did happen and ultimate became a major sport in America,
would you still take as large a part in it as you do now?

Thanks for all who respond,
