The correct answer is C: The NFL had not had much success and was still trying to rise above rival leagues.
Wally did not seriously consider playing in the NFL likely because at the time, the league was competing with other football leagues and hadn’t yet established itself as the premier professional football option. This uncertainty may have made pursuing a career in the NFL less appealing for him.
