Bills Have A Potential Suitor?From WIVB by way (oddly enough) of Kukla’s Korner:
Can someone explain to me why they have that rule? Does that mean Golisano couldn’t buy the Bills (his name is always bandied about when it comes up, not that he’s ever said he would do it)? Calls to Delaware North for comment went unreturned; calls to One Bills Drive had Ralph Wilson asking about the score of the Brooklyn Dodgers game, before he hung up excitedly as his jello was delivered. 4 comments to Bills Have A Potential Suitor? |

But the NHL didn’t take issue with him owning a team in the same division as the city in which his family originated a very large successful business named after a part of the city?
I believe a person can own two teams if they are in the same market, so a Golisano could own the Bills and Sabres. I know Mike Ilitch owns both the Tigers and Red Wings in Detroit as an example.
OK, so the way they worded it was what was unclear…he owns a pro team in a DIFFERENT market, is the problem.
No what the issue is that Jacobs owns the Bruins and then would own the Bills. NFL rules state you cant own a football team while owning another team in a different market that has a football team. Therefore, the Ilitch situation makes sense because its not an NFL team. Golisano should be able to own the Bills if he wanted to because the Bills and the Sabres are in the same market.
But digressing, isnt this a terrible idea because don’t most Bruins fans complain about the cheapness of Jacobs. So with him being a tightwad in terms of the Bruins roster, what seems that he would do any different running the Bills.
