Oliver Luck was the CEO and Commissioner of the XFL until it suspended operations due to the coronavirus pandemic. He is now filing a lawsuit against his former boss.
Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic dropped the news that Luck is suing McMahon for wrongful termination.
Via Action Network:
“Luck, through his attorneys, said he was wrongfully terminated in a case that was filed in Connecticut last Thursday, and is owed the money that he was guaranteed when he signed on to become the commissioner in May 2018.
Sources say Luck received a contract for in between $20-25 million over five years. The contract stipulated he’d be due the remaining balance if terminated without cause.”
Luck, as well as other top executives, were missing from the XFL’s bankruptcy filing on April 13th.
Former XFL coaches Bob Stoops ($1.083 million), Marc Trestman ($777,777), the Jonathan Hayes ($633,333) and others ($583,333 each) were listed as creditors in the XFL’s bankruptcy filing.
