The owners of the Ohio Valley Greyhounds are hoping to save the franchise through the Internet.
The starting bid for the team on the auction site is $100,000. The 10-day listing, which ends Nov. 11, includes an artificial turf field that came from the Hoosier Dome - now RCA Dome - in Indianapolis, helmets and shoulder pads, and office equipment.
“The future of the franchise is definitely in jeopardy,” managing general partner George Kellas said Tuesday. “I just don’t have the time or energy to devote to two full-time jobs.”
Kellas said the Greyhounds will fold if a new owner is not found before Nov. 15, the deadline he has set to sell the team.

But no one had bid as of Wednesday morning.

The Greyhounds won consecutive titles in the National Indoor Football League in 2002 and 2003 and advanced to the conference championship games in 2001 and 2004. But the team struggled this year after moving to the United Indoor Football Association, ending the season 6-11.
