Commentary crews may not be far behind.
However, one of the XFL on ESPN crew will not be back in sideline reporter Tiffany Blackmon, who last XFL season drank out of a beer snake in DC while doing one of the games. She left for CBS following the end of the XFL season.

Menefee and Klatt have to be Fox's A team again, right?

They should be.

John Schriffen also became the new White Sox play by play man so while he's still at ESPN I would suspect with them already paring down half their crews that would all but eliminate him.
I think FOX could probably find a way to work in Kevin Kugler after the NCAA Tournament. The season will be over by time the CWS comes around so that won't be an issue.

The league has to tease its fans for a whole weekend to build up hype? Why not just release the schedule today and get it done.

I often wonder how much benefit there is to all the teases. Does it build interest? I follow the UFL quite closely in the mainstream media and I suspect some local markets will talk about the team schedules once they’re released, so they probably see the need to do the release on a weekday other than Friday.

It will get lost on a weekend and Friday is almost the w/e. Last Tuesday or Wednesday would have been prefered as this is S/B week but Monday gives the league, networks, local press and media a full work week to cover the schedule. There's no FB game results to cover just the SB. It likely will come up in some SB conversations that media has - especially when trying to fill the week with live interviews from LV and all the media there. And a pre-release gives media/press a heads up. I think it all makes sense.
