Franchise Notes: Caribbean Premier League Side Zouks Purchased By Jay Pandya

The Caribbean Premier League announced that the Zouks franchise has been purchased by Jay Pandya of Royal Sports Club, based in Philadelphia. Pandya is the founder of the Rohan Group of companies, a real estate venture with over 100 combined commercial and retail properties. He currently also serves as the chair of Global Sports Ventures and Royal Sports Club (CPL). 

La Liga side Real Sociedad has given a homeless man, who had been sleeping outside a gate at its Anoeta stadium in San Sebastian, work on its maintenance team. The man, known as Ruben, "had been sleeping there for the last eight months with his dog Mundo." Ruben -- who had lived on the streets of San Sebastian for the past three years, surviving thanks to locals who brought him food and clothing -- "has signed a two-month deal with the club" (ESPN.com, 10/27).
