Tom Dundon so cheap, he had buyers' remorse after paying $3.8 million for a first-round pick and tried to use the receipt to get a refund on Calvin de Haan.

Former AAF owner Tom Dundon charges 'misrepresentations,'...

I got hammered pretty hard in this forum for suggesting that Dundon didn't make a smart investment.

Wasn't by me, IDK what he was thinking. It's been obvious for a long time there's little interest in another pro football league.

Tom Dundon so cheap he replaced his scouting department with the used VCR Tom Golissano replaced the Sabres scouting department with in the mid 2000's he bought for $5 from Sabretooth who was fencing it outside the arena.

Tom Dundon so cheap, he goes to Kennedy Fried Chicken and licks other people's fingers.
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
What ever happened to the assertion, nay the absolute certainty, that the only reason Dundon bought in for the gaming technology? Pretty quiet on that front.

That was debunked. He didn't care about it at all.
Reading into this, it looks like Ebersol straight up lied to him and hid important financial details about just how much debt the league had already taken on prior to Dundon coming in. This actually looks a lot like straight up fraud on the part of the original founders of the league and Dundon is well in the right for taking the course of action he is.
Gotcha. I hadn’t heard much about it since the beginning on that front. I did read the ESPN article they had on the AAF, and Dundon straight up admitted he didn’t do his due diligence. I wonder if those interviews will be used on record in the court proceedings.

Also explains why he pulled the plug so quickly.
If there's one thing all good business people do, it's cut your losses quickly.

Agreed. But if once he got a look under the hood, he came to the realization that he had been lied to and manipulated, it became far less likely he'd give Ebersol and Polian the benefit of the doubt.

I was told it was that they knew the value of their assets.
Part of the problem is confusing billionaires with good business people. After watching "The Inventor" on HBO and reading "The Last Days of Night," my bias is stronger than ever that many of the super wealthy are not smarter or better than any of us. They just seem more committed to wealth.
There's a strength of will and a ruthlessness factor as well.
EDIT: but I still contend that most super successful people, and the operative word is most, seem to not engage in as much "throwing good money after bad".

Tom Dundon so cheap he gets his players Old Spice and underwear as Christmas gifts.
It's one or the other...not both....too expensive.
Well, he screwed up then. The costs to cover Haula’s backside is going to set him back a pretty penny.
