The XFL suspended operations last week for the foreseeable future and laid off most of its employees. A day later, the league filed for bankruptcy.
Former Baylor punter Drew Galitz, who was named All-Big 12 twice in college, was in the midst of a successful season for the XFL’s Dallas Renegades. Galitz said he did not expect the league to declare a complete shutdown.
“It came as a shock,” Galitz said. “I kind of thought it would come back next year, just because that’s kind of what we heard. Once the virus shut us down, they were saying that there still could possibly be a season even this year.
