Liquid cash for sustainability rather than potential investors.

re: XFL Discussion

Vince is worth over a billion dollars and runs a company whose stock will probably be worth over $100 a share once XFL starts up.

And then having an existing billion dollar relationship with FOX helps as well.

AAF also showed people will watch. It's dead time of the year except for college basketball, NBA starts to pickup towards playoffs.


The AAF started getting more attention from the networks and actually had more games moved to CBS but then they shut down.

I see McClain gave Jones a demotion. He was head coach. He only became the OC this offseason.

All guys will get signed first and later on we'll see an XFL Draft. That should be a fun show
