Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley '67, who has desired to make the VGK a global brand since the Golden Knights’ first season, is building a new business model of acquiring soccer teams in Europe that would allow his soccer clubs to transfer players without fees.

Instead, the self-described “serial dealmaker” is pursuing a multi-club model of soccer teams in Europe. Foley is doing his soccer team bidding under his “Black Knight Football Club” corporate banner — the partnership led by Foley and majority-owned by Cannae Holdings, Inc.

Black Knight is a reference to the sports nickname of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Read more.
