Testing the Waters or A little help?

With so many excellent OOTP leagues out there I wanted to develop a unique and fun league that would hopefully appeal to enough people for me to begin the process of forming the league.
It would be a (Franchise) RIVALS only league:
Yankees/Red Sox
Dodgers/Giants
Cubs/Cardinals
Mets/Phillies
All players in the league will have had to have played at least one game for at least one of the 8 teams

Example (NY/BOS Rivals) Division:
New York Yankees
Columbus Clippers
Boston Red Sox
Portland Sea Dogs

OR if there was enough interest each franchise could have their own division
Example (Giants) Division:
San Francisco Giants
New York Giants
Richmond Flying Squirrels
Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
Example (Dodger) Division:
Los Angeles Dodgers
Brooklyn Dodgers
Albuquerque Isotopes
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes

I’m not into micro-managing owners. Rules will be basic and few.

Would there be enough interest to begin to develop this league or is it too narrow of a scope to obtain potential owners?
What would you want or not want to be included in the league to have you be interested in joining?

If this post needs to be moved that is fine. I could not find a better place for it.
Thanks

PS: If I unknowingly copied another league it was completely unintentional. I looked here in this forum at numerous leagues and did not find one that was a ‘rivals’ league. If I missed any please accept my apologies in advance.
