The $23.8 million legal fight between former XFL commissioner Oliver Luck and his onetime boss, WWE founder and Alpha Entertainment chairman Vince McMahon, expanded last Friday when Alpha’s attorneys filed amended counterclaims in Connecticut federal district court.
Among new allegations brought against Luck, Alpha insists that Luck “repeatedly” engaged in the unauthorized disclosure of confidential XFL information to his brother-in-law, William Wilson. Wilson was a prominent NFL agent at Wasserman Media Group, where he served as executive vice president and co-head of the football division (he has since become CEO and Secretary General of U.S. Soccer). Luck is accused of sharing “XFL requests for proposals, meeting notes, presentations, draft contracts, and analysis of players” as well as “attorney-client privileged information . . . including draft contracts and analysis of contracts.” He allegedly disclosed these purported trade secrets and sensitive materials without McMahon’s consent.

Is this even XFL news anymore? I guess if VM wants back in he needs this wrapped up, other than the obvious desire to not pay someone for work not performed, and save his $$.
