I can't think of any wealthy enough person or group of 24 or fewer wealthy enough people that have indicated an interest in owning an NFL team in Toronto.
The talk is that one of Uncle Ted's kids will have their name as owner but really it's run by the corporation. There's also been talk in recent years that Larry Tannenbaum would be involved in such an ownership.
