Avram Glazer - new director, was the previous CEO/Chairman of Zap.com

Glazer family is #63 on the Forbes America's Riches Families list.

Hmmm ... maybe take the Buccaneers public...

After Malcolm Glazer died in May 2014, the family was left without its leader, but still firmly in control of an impressive real estate and global sports empire. The Glazer clan built a commercial real estate fortune through First Allied Corporation, which today owns more than 6.7 million square feet of premium shopping center space across the U.S. What made the Glazers better known, though, was their ownership of sports teams. Malcolm bought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995 for $192 million; today, the team is worth more than $1.2 billion. In 2006, the family purchased British soccer powerhouse Manchester United for $1.4 billion in a controversial deal. With soccer team valuations ballooning, the Glazers have been selling shares in the historic team, now worth $3.1 billion; the family controls 83% of the voting power in the publicly traded team. The fortune is shared by Malcolm's widow Linda and the couple's six children.
