Inside the XFL with the President of the Dallas Renegades

 

The XFL made a big splash with its inaugural draft. More than 1,000 players were able to be selected in the 10-round draft. Unlike the NFL Draft, each round had a narrowed field of focus that the eight-team league could choose from. Notable players on the Renegades include former NFL players Landry Jones and Lance Dunbar.

Now that the draft dust has settled it is time to look at how the team and the new league plan to succeed where other professional football leagues have failed. What is Vince McMahon’s influence on the league? How will it attract season ticket holders? How will it work with local sponsors? Dallas Renegade’s President, Grady Raskin joins us to share his insight. We will discuss Grady Raskin’s vision for the organization and how he will lead this new endeavor.
