Wheels to be soald?
DETROIT - A Charlotte, N.C. group will buy
Wheels of the World Football
League for $2 million and move
the franchise there, a Detroit
sportscaster said last evening.
Al Ackerman of WXYZ-TV
said he learned from reliable
sources that the Wheels were ina
contact with the North Carolina;
group because of continuing fi-
nancial troubles.
Ackerman said "terms are
the North Carolina group will
pay $500,000 in cash and the
rest in equal installments over
the next five years."
"At a meeting at the Wheels'
office July 28, 22 of the 33
shareholders were told the club
had $280,000 in bills and the
corporation was practically out
of cash," Ackerman said.
"They also were told it would
be impossible to attain an aver-
age of 15,000 fans to Rynearson
Stadium at Ypsilanti for the
games because of the distance
some 35 miles west from De-
troit.
"The only way to solve the
crisis was to sell the club."
Ackerman said the move
would be made before the sea-
son ends.
