Bulls fans curious about the implications of USF's new multimedia-rights partnership with a Jeff Vinik-controlled group need look no farther than Amalie Arena.
The cutting-edge bells and whistles accompanying a Lightning game -- or at least a solid replicate of them -- now likely will be headed to USF events.
USF announced Monday it has entered a 10-year multimedia-rights partnership with Tampa Bay Entertainment Properties, LLC (TBEP), an entity controlled by Vinik and formed earlier this year.
