Local Legend Aims To Help NFL Grow

MIAMI, FL - Many of our readers may not recognize the company above, but many will recognize the name Spencer Strasmore. For the few who are unfamiliar with him, he was the star linebacker during the 'baller' days at the University of Miami, hailed as one of the greatest teams ever put together. The team was also known for its antics both on and off the field, which famously led to them being held out of the BCS Championship due to off-the-field controversies. Strasmore and his fellow teammates never played another down in college, nor got a shot at playing in the NFL. However that setback didn't keep him away from the NFL as he has become a financial manager and is currently working in the sporting division of Anderson Financial.

In recent months there has been buzz around the league about the potential addition of another NFL franchise. Although nothing official has been announced, rumors around the league indicate that Strasmore has been one of the key players in pushing for expansion. It is unclear if Strasmore's company would be involved with a new franchise, at the current valuation of Anderson Financial it would indicate that they would need to find partners to raise enough capital to pay the expansion fee (the Texans paid $700M several years ago). Nor is it clear which city would earn the rights to host the next team, with many experts pointing to Los Angeles or Las Vegas as prime destinations. The only thing clear right now is that potential of a new NFL team has taken a huge bump thanks to the involvement of Spencer Strasmore.
