Merritt Paulson '95 is featured in a New York Times article, "Seeking Help to Bring an M.L.S. Team to Portland," (11/9/08) about his efforts to bring a major league soccer team to Portland. 

According to the article, "Merritt Paulson left his N.B.A. job last year to buy the minor league baseball and soccer teams in Portland, Ore. His chief adviser and financier in the $16 million sports spree was his father, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr."
The Times article notes that "Paulson, 35, is immersed in a more ambitious, riskier stage of his sports plan, one that puts him in the middle of a continuing debate about the economic value of government investments and incentives for stadiums that benefit private team owners. The debate grows more resonant given the worldwide economic crisis."
