[quote=""BananaCat""]Jones sold the majority ownership to Randy Sanders (former Amarillo Venom owner) and a few months ago she re-acquired the team with plans to bring them back in 2013.[/quote]
Thanks for the clarification BC, hard to keep up with everything. Don't know how you keep up with everything chuckyman unless you're on the road in Texas checking out the teams as they progress. Dittman and Jones have coexisted for years without major problems. 7 LSFL teams with 3 under one ownership has to be a concern even though Dittmans track record good.
Mesquite Bandits Over?
[quote=""jerry101jlh""]I agree that to dump the team now, even though late, the best move.[/quote]
Let me make one correction. Not letting an under-qualified owner into the league in the first place would have been the best move. Kicking him out after a schedule has been released, albeit before the start of the season, is a distant second. I've said before that even the best vetting process can't help a league if an owner simply decides not to put any more of his money into his team. I'm not convinced that's what we're seeing here.

Most likely Paul, we'll never know the whole truth, but that's nothing new, nor unexpected. i am sure the LSFL is going to paint this "error" in judgement so that it reflects best on them regardless of any truth not told. to me this is just another example of business as usual in minor league sports.

Guys from what I understand the Mesquite Owner's Financials were impeccable, spotless... the problem materialized when Uncle Sam came knocking on the door and all hell broke loose so to speak. I can't really go into specifics; but, I think you get the drift.

If your financials are impeccable, spotless... then why would Uncle Sam be knocking on your door.

I know... all I know is something went down after the fact and it doesn't look rosy for him... a cell and 4 walls might be on the agenda... that and the way he treated all the Mesquite People at the end was pretty low to begin with..
