ESPN's Erin Dolan gets increased full-time role with network
By Josh Sanchez
Erin Dolan is getting an increased role with the Worldwide Leader in Sports. On Friday, it was announced that Dolan will be added as a full-time in-game betting analyst for ESPN's UFL coverage.
The spring league will begin play on Sunday, March 30, with Dolan appearing "on-air for pre-game, in-game, and half-time betting analysis on ESPN and ABC UFL broadcasts."
Front Office Sports was first to share the news.

The report adds, "Dolan will give picks, report on betting tickets and handle, popular props, and give live updates during major betting moments like the over hitting."
Along with the experimental role that could lead to more interest and engagement with the UFL, Dolan will continue her regular appearances on ESPN BET Live and Sunday NFL Countdown.

It may be an unorthodox role, but with the popularity of sports betting across the country and ESPN's investment into the space, it makes all of the sense in the world.
So, not only will the UFL be kicking off this weekend and taking us into April, it means there will be more Erin Dolan on your screens.
The UFL officially kicks off its season on Sunday, March 30, with a doubleheader. In the first game, the Memphis Showboats will host the Michigan Panthers beginning at noon ET, while the Birmingham Stallions vs. DC Defenders will wrap up opening day with a 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
