We can agree that creating and launching a NEW Major Sporting Event takes much time, thought, partnerships and ultimately, extensive planning and development. The article above details the vision for a reset of the XFL professional football league, set to relaunch in early 2020.

This assignment is 100% opinion… yours!

As related specifically to the XFL and to our “Moser Wheel” regarding the overall sports landscape in February/March/April each year, here are some considerations for you to tackle (pun intended).

· Overall, do you believe this event will succeed, immediately or long term – and why or why not.

· There is a big financial investment here – does the upside for an “off-season” pro football league outweigh the downside (think Pros & Cons here). What is the Risk / Reward factor?

· How will the XFL “break through the clutter” to attract fans both nationally and globally?

· What 3 or 4 platform(s) would make the most sense to drive revenue (tickets, broadcast, etc.)
