Lots of rumors going around about the bowling business, so let's start a thread just based off of speculation.

Known fact. Brunswick and co is up for sale. More than likely will be snatched up by another large company. Who would benefit from acquiring Brunswick, DV8 and Radical, and who would suffer because of it?

Rumor. Big PBA name signed to 900 Global. Which means 900 Global would have to be PBA approved again. Which means someone is jumping ship from their current contract. Some say Barnes, some say Belmonte, some say nothing. If Barnes leaves Columbia 300, does that really put another nail in EBI's coffin? What is he going to do with his blue pants?

Is the whole game going to come down to Kentucky vs Utah with a sprinkle of Michigan on the side?

Giant no...the cult yes tho

1) Nothing is free, it's an expression. Much the same to members of Costco who get that "Free 1%" in rewards for being an Executive member.

2) We're doing just fine, selling the products division was a choice by the corporation after being offered a substantial sum of money for the bowling centers. Bowling was 8% of Brunswick Corp, without the centers, even less. Our divisions have had plenty of interest from investors and other companies in the industry. Speculate all you want, 2015 will be a great year for Brunswick products with new ownership in place.

It's getting close, down to the final few in the process.

I see your point. To counter, things are not always sold because they are doing poorly. I'm sure plenty of people sold their houses this year because they built a ton of equity and cashed out.

Nick, keep drinking the horchata.

I see what you did here.

Just like all the others low on the totem pole at a publicly traded company, he will find out his future after the public announcement is made.  Anything they are told now is just to keep the worker bees having a warm and fuzzy because the company needs them to stick around.

I think BrunsNick will be fine! 

StormNick, RotoNick, EboNick, MotivNick, 900Nick.....he'll figure it out.

Could lead to some new videos!!!
