Outside of those mentioned, the only two other owners that could afford the team and could make visionary changes to the business side of the franchise would be Elon Musk and George Lucas.

Lucas would sign Jar-Jar Binks, no thanks

[Car123]

Kaepernick would be a better owner than JR.

All in for Colin.

my bet is own the minority owners having someone step up to claim the majority stake and that group keeping it. 

 

Probably going to happen this way. 

 

Probably my preference as well.  I want this whole process to be boring as possible, honestly.

Well to be fair, the team has been on the market for less than 24 hours.

Technically it isn't really for sale yet.

What I meant was that to my knowledge, most of them are just rich, but haven't expressed interest in ownership or even in sports period.  Take the SAS guy for example.  The article basically said that he is rich, and he is North Carolina.  Didn't even discuss if he is a Football fan or if he would be willing to deal with the public attention that comes with being an NFL owner.  

IMO, the only likely candidates at this point are Bruton Smith, and the minority owners.  Anybody else is a WAG.

I'm rooting for Levines or Belk families.  That would pretty much guarantee the team stays in Charlotte forever.

Bezos would be a dream. Think of all the innovations on the business side of things, and the stadium. I doubt it happens though.

[J.Cage]

The Levine crew will take it. I could see Steph getting a piece in the future.

[Mojo]

Definitely rooting for the owners to have strong ties to the Carolinas.    

[CatMan72]

Levine could easily afford it, just made 9.7 billion off the sale of Family Dollar.

Granted.

One thing to consider too: The city of Charlotte is heavily invested in keeping the Panthers.  They've stated their intent to reach out to wealthy parties in the area in an effort to secure local ownership.

That's the kind of situation where others mentioned could come into play.

Anybody but Diddy

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I appreciate the speculation but article lists rich guys in NC as being the main suitors but then says any rich guy who is rich enough to buy it and is interested is in the running.  

Just a list with garble added
