None.   There would be about zero interest in this if it happened.

You're going to have a lot of kids that nobody cares about (Jeremy Tyler types), and if you have a few good recruits most college basketball fans won't care because they're not going to college.   Those people follow HS/AAU sports so fervently because those kids are going to college.  Do NBA fans watch the NBA D-League when they're kids are down there - are Bucks fans tuning in to see Tyler Ennis if he's down?  Doubtful.  Now imagine if it's just a few potential draft picks playing some blah exhibition games.  It would have to be some sort of game-changing life altering player to make it viable - and even then, that just means you reach double-digit viewers if it was ever televised.

Maybe if you gave them funny nicknames and had 'The Professor' play you could create the magic of the And1 tour ESPN used to show.   I suppose the point of the league though is more about signing the kids as their agents down the road, and in the interim make it a sports academy type setting where you get paid...
