You'd think that Newhouse, who grew up in a football-focused home with the 12-season Dallas Cowboys fullback Robert Newhouse as his dad, would have eyes only for the NFL. But Rodd always had a thing for the sport of rugby, according to the Dallas Business Journal's David Moreno—preferring the helmet-less brawn of muscular scrums where a "try" is scored when you touch the ball down in the "in-goal" beyond the goal line.
In this week’s roundup of hires, promotions, and accolades in North Texas, you’ll also find news from the Dallas Jackals, Akorbi Group, egage2learn, Trademark Property Co., Independent Bank Group, Avanci, Independent Bank Group, and more.
The Dallas Jackals finished their inaugural Major League Rugby season in June, finishing 0-16. (Sound familiar? The Dallas Cowboys went winless in their 1960 debut season, too.) Now the team aims to improve both on the pitch and on the balance sheet, with new front office leadership including President Steve Violetta and GM Santiago Sodini. The Cowboys became America's Team. So what might the Jackals do?
"We want to be an elite franchise not only in Major League Rugby, but in all professional sports," says Violetta.
