Show notes
The season is over, the Louisville Kings are champions — so what's next for the UFL? On this offseason edition of UFL Week In Review, Mark makes the case that the league's real path forward isn't TV commercials or bigger marketing budgets. It's leaning on the people already doing the work: the podcasters, YouTubers, and creators covering these teams every week. The Disney influencer model, why Pat McAfee or Tom Brady should own a franchise, where the league should expand next, and the attendance numbers that tell the real story of the season.
Plus a behind-the-scenes look at championship weekend is dropping soon, so stay tuned for that.
We're going monthly through the offseason and checking in whenever there's news worth talking about.
