Replying to @xfl2020 @OliverLuckXFL
If we’re discussing credibility as an impactful aspect on the rebirth of @xfl2020 then in Oliver Luck it picked up quite a bit. It’s my belief CFB Needs a Commissioner and Oliver Luck & Jack Ford would have been my top candidates. Great get for a burgeoning rebirth. No doubt!
According to SportsBusiness Journal (via Rachel Bachman of the Wall Street Journal), Luck will receive $20 million guaranteed over multiple years as the leader of Vince McMahon’s resurrected football venture. The number could end up going north of $30 million, if the league succeeds.
