I think that an attorney who actually deals in property and contract law would be able to give us better insight than Huddlers using it for fodder to berate Tepper. 

It's not like the man is going broke or something. He's just doing what rich people do when things don't go their way I'd imagine.

Remember when he bragged about how it was gonna be bigger and better and more advanced than the Avengers headquarters?  🤣🤣🤣

And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the original story was that York Co./Rock Hill defaulted and that's why building was stopped.  So, if that was the case, how tf does Tepper's real estate firm owe them money after the settlement?

My guess it's to pay off contractors that are caught up in this debacle. How and why the two state entities are being reimbursed is a mystery.  It could be to pay their contractors involved in this? 

In any case it was the right thing to do on his part regardless of RH's part in it.

Tepper could afford to do this on his own just as other developers do. The infrastructure outside of Tepper World is entirely up to the state/county, however it works in SC. If he counted the state to kick in money in advance on a handshake deal with Rock Hill then he hasn't done business with government before.

From what Erik Spanberg says…everyone is getting paid what everyone is owed.

Charlotte business journal paints it as resolution

Huddle Norms take it as sky r falling.

Im going with business journal.

Odd given that the team he used to be a part of isn't as big on the fancy stuff and tends to concentrate more on the actual football side of things.

It's almost like he can't learn anything and doesn't have any common sense.

He has been a disappointment from day 1 here, I'm actually not 100% sure what he could have done worse, outside of trying to move the team.

the contractors and York County make sense.  It's what they were owed and listed at. 

if I am not mistaken, did Tepper's folk list RH as like a $750 creditor awhile back.  I would just be curious how less than a thousand dollars turned into $20 million.

As I recall though, not paying back those things was one of the reasons they filed bankruptcy in the first place.

(hence the lawsuits)

So after all the talk about how we were going to have this amazing state-of-the-art practice facility that would be the envy of the league and have a bunch of other neat stuff around it, back to the status quo.

No matter how you spin it, that's kind of embarrassing.

Definitely not what anybody would call "winning"...

They filed bankruptcy so they don't have to pay for other contracts they signed for future work.  They never said they weren't going to pay for work done. They said from the beginning that want to pay everyone who is owed.  But there was probably 500mil more of contract that were awarded for work on site that was never started and if they didn't file bankruptcy, those with contracts could come after their money.  Chapter 11 is a finances reorg to pay of debts and cancel contracts.

GTRE also says $20M will be available to city of Rock Hill, stemming from the sale of the 240-acre property 

Can someone translate why they doing that 

If Rock Hill accepts payment, there is probably no lawsuit. A STFU and go away parting gift. It would cost more in time and lawyer fees to drag this on.

I looked back at some of the original stories but don't see any mention of future projects.

Did see this regarding the lawsuit (link)

York County has filed a lawsuit against several of Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper’s organizations and the city of Rock Hill over the “misappropriation” of $21 million in funds tied to the team facility that was under construction in Rock Hill.

County leaders allege in the lawsuit the Tepper Defendants “improperly utilized these funds on their failed vanity project, the Carolina Panthers’ headquarters and practice facility.”

“Both the City and the Tepper Defendants have harmed York County and its taxpayers, and the County should be made whole,” court documents state.

They were seeking 21 million ar rhe time, and the story now says Tepper's company is willing to pay them 20 million.

Offering one million less does sound like kind of a 'f--k you' move.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
