    This is why you get an ownership group that is 33% Nike, 33% Adidas, and 33% Underarmor!

    You're making stuff up. I get it, you're worried but just because the team moved to a bigger city it doesn't guarantee them "MUCH" more money or a better situation.

    Knight is 80 and has always had a thing about investing in where he gets his money from. The closest he ever got was when he was a minority own of the Diamondbacks. I'm sorry, Knight is not the answer.

    Besides, he's spending all his mad money on Knute Buehler.

    And he doesn't look all that healthy himself.

    So a plan has been in place by Paul for a couple of years. His estate is worth 20 billion. Granted that is before estate taxes, but regardless one would hope that the plan calls for a reasonable sale price. One that a local group could afford. Its not like Jody or who ever inherits the team needs to hold out for the biggest offer. It will be interesting to find out what the plan is

    You mean he's spending all his mad money on UO athletics. Though his political donations to Buehler are in line with the Oregonian's weekend endorsement. The man played baseball for Oregon State - what more reason does one need to vote for him?

    Getting rid of the last team in the NW would save the league money and scheduling hassles. As for the loyal fans - butts in the seats don't mean nearly as much to the league as potential TV ratings. As for the SacTown situation - if they had been anywhere except California, the league would have helped load the moving vans. If the league didn't want teams in BC or Washington, why would they want one here?

    Portland is a small speck of a city. Any bigger market will increase the franchise value. Any owner would want to maximize the investment, and buying out any leases is the first step.

    I'd argue that this actually makes Olshey very safe in the short term. They aren't going to change horses until the ownership is settled, which may take some time.

    After a new owner is in place, then Olshey's prospects are probably very shaky.
