Allow me to be one of the 1st to introduce the world to a new, unique concept in Sports for the 21st Century. Introducing "Project FANchise," the worlds first fan-run professional sports franchise will debut an expansion team in the 2017 Indoor Football League Season. I spoke with both Sohrob Farudi: Founder and CEO, and Grant Cohen: SVP of Digital, about Project FANchise. This interview explains what it is, how to join in, and what's in it for fans. Project FANchise gives fans who are used to screaming from the stands an unprecedented voice, allowing them to control every part of the FAN-chise, from deciding the players that make the roster to calling plays in real-time during the games. Fans will use proprietary technology to make real-time, crowdsourced decisions that directly impact the team. To learn more about Project FANchise and how to get involved, visit ProjectFANchise.com.
