Owners auction football team on eBay
An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
Anybody looking to buy an indoor football team can find one on eBay.
The owners of the Ohio Valley Greyhounds are hoping to save the franchise through the Internet.
The starting bid for the team on the auction site is $100,000. The 10-day listing, which ends Nov. 11, includes an artificial turf field that came from the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, helmets and shoulder pads, and office equipment.
"The future of the franchise is definitely in jeopardy,'' managing general partner George Kellas said Tuesday. "I just don't have the time or energy to devote to two full-time jobs.''
Kellas said the Greyhounds will fold if a new owner is not found before Nov. 15, the deadline he has set to sell the team.
