Menendez price rising as Toledo battle lingers
The Toledo Blade reports a heated franchise dispute between Dan Menendez and Charleston with West Virginia interest growing. Charleston allegedly offered around 40 000 to cover Toledo debts, while Menendez pushes for 50 000 to stay and 60 000 to 75 000 in escrow.
