Justin Murphy, Staff writer
Billionaire philanthropist Tom Golisano confirmed Thursday that he has at least some interest in buying the Buffalo Bills, and said if he does, he will keep the team in Buffalo, calling it a "very important asset" for western New York.
Golisano was at Bishop Kearney High School Thursday to receive an honor for his support of the school. He briefly addressed the Bills during his own prepared remarks, then took several questions on the topic from students.
Reports surfaced last month that Golisano is considering joining with mall developer Scott Congel to buy the team, which is in limbo since the death of founder and longtime owner Ralph Wilson Jr in March.
It was evident from his answers that he's been involved in the behind-the-scenes process with the National Football League and the trust that is currently in charge of the Bills. He said he's waiting for financial information on the team to be released in a few weeks before making any decisions.
