Paul has owned several minor-league sports franchises and is a guru of sports marketing: figuring out how to maximize sales of anything and everything at sports events. He is the ex-owner of the El Paso Diablos baseball team and the current owner of the local Buzzards Hockey team. Paul managed to get the City of El Paso to build a new 10,000-seat stadium for the Diablos in the early ‘90s. Living up to his new team’s name, he is now trying to cut a deal to get taxpayers to finance part of the costs of a new stadium for the Buzzards. Paul was the athletic director at New Mexico State University until ’99, when he resigned to raise money for Bush. Paul owns a stable of horses that race at Ruidoso Downs.
