New XFL cities and coaches? A Potential XFL bubble/hub season in Texas?? XFL logo announcement fallout plus interviews with Victor Cui, Nic Sulsky and Jake Wieneke on this week’s episode of The Markcast.

We bring on XFL News Hub’s Matt Lyons to break down all of the major XFL news breaking and circulating this week. Could the XFL potentially be setting up shop for a 2023 hub season in Dallas, Texas? We chat through the pros and cons of that decision and how the XFL fanbase will response. Matt and I also chat through the rumored XFL city movements and what teams might be left out in the cold when the XFL returns in 2023. There’s also multiple coaching hires being reported for XFL head coach position including many other rumored names from XFL insider Mike Mitchell so we breakdown and chat though all of those potential possibilities.

Victor Cui, President and CEO of the Edmonton Elks then stops by the program to fill us in on the work he’s been doing since taking his position 2 months ago to rebuild the Elks franchise in the CFL. We talk about repairing the “fractured” relationship between the team and their fans, what the other CFL teams and ownerships can do to help grow their respective fanbases and I even pitch my own new slogan for the Edmonton Elks.

Nic Sulsky, Chief Commercial Officer of PointsBet Canada returns to the program to discuss their newly announced sports-betting partnership with the Ottawa REDBLACKS. We chat about their goal to improve the CFL fan’s on-site experience as it relates to sports-betting while attending CFL games, and what things can be pivoted to help improve CFL fan retention and engagement across Canada and down into the United States as well.

Finally, Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Jake Wieneke makes an appearance courtesy of the team to fill us in on his ongoings during the CFL off-season and how he plans to get game ready by the time the CFL kicks off in just a few months. Besides visiting teammates Vernon Adams Jr. on the west coast with fellow teammate William Stanback, Jake also gives back to his community through teaching, a fantastic individual!
