Quote:The inheritance tax would be prohibitive. 

 

Nobody in his family expressed any interest in assuming control when he was still alive.  It was always expected that once he died, the team would be sold.  I would expect to see this thing buttoned up fairly quickly. 

 

My guess is the team finds a new owner willing to continue to play in Buffalo for a specific time frame to see if the market can continue to support it long term, similar to what we have here under Khan and the 5 year deal he made with Weaver.

 

I read a little bit about his kids. He had three daughters. One passed away a couple of years ago. One works in merchandising for the team. The other has nothing to do with this team. And his "kids" are both around 70 years old. Probably want to enjoy their retirement years and the hundreds of millions they will get from the sale of the team.
