Weekend Reading: Bucs Blackouts, NCAA Bylaws, Other Stadium Sagas

In case you missed it:

• The Bucs indicate 2014 will be blackout-free.
• Courts ruled in favor of Ed O'Bannon in his suit against the NCAA, meaning athletes are entitled to a bigger share of the business of college sports.
• UCF's athletic director sent a letter to students & fans regarding the impending changes.
• Just like the Lightning don't want to compete with the Rays in Downtown Tampa, the Spurs don't want a football team moving to town...unless they get paid.
• The Buffalo Bills, who just got hundreds of million dollars in stadium renovations, now apparently need a new stadium.  Good use of taxpayer dollars.  And they need it so badly that bidders for the up-for-sale franchise are reportedly over-bidding by 50%.
• Finally, Charlotte is learning the hard way that keeping a franchise happy with its arena is hard; they'll fork over to upgrade the nine-year-old Bobcats' home.  Will that make them think twice about a potential Rays bid, especially if they have to spend more money on basketball in the early 2020s?
