UFL expanded media exposure and more

4th&Long
Definitely seeing more media exposure locally in market and some nationally. And its a mix of big media podcast and TV, local radio and podcast and UFL centric - mostly social media, and YT podcasts. And lets not forget Mike Repole himself making a splash on all these type of media. Having HC Rick N on with Rich Eisen podcast, and at superbowl week media. Dead Bladino (not my fav but he's a well know FB rules guy) talking rule changes across media. ESPN programs talking it up... all good. Neuheisel with his Sirius radio, CBS SN and access to other media was a great HC hire. Plus he loves Spring FB... huge. Repole knew the 4 pt FG and no punt once across the 50 were going to get some buzz, and they are. The tush push ban was another. Even though some of these rule changes are bigger on paper then we'll actually see they drive interest. The bigger name + local HC hires in StL, Louisville, Birm and Columbus are risky from a FB stand point (we'll see how that works) but have also raised local interest esp among media and thats another great Mike P move. And the fan experiences got local news attention and fan engagement. And of course the move to soccer stadiums moves, which hopefully look better with UFL sized crowds and help in person and TV perception. Not to mention likely costs too, Everyone wanted more promo, marketing and media. We got it. Its now up to UFL to play good FB on the field, fun experience at the games. But its up to the FANS to show up, watch on TV including bars to play the games. Mike R wants to make money. If he can increase the value the leagues teams in 2026 he likey will cover his investment in 2026... and he's just getting started. UFL LFG!
