Now that David Tepper has agreed to buy the Carolina Panthers, there are a few more details to work out before the billionaire hedge fund manager officially is handed over the keys to Bank of America Stadium.
Although Tepper is a part-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he still has to be vetted by the NFL as part of this process, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email to the Observer. Next week during the NFL meetings in Atlanta, Tepper is expected to appear in person before the league's finance committee, a group of eight that will review details of the proposed deal.
