Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Detroit Wheels were an American football team, a charter member of the ill-fated World Football League. The Wheels were founded December 13, 1973 by ten investors, whose number eventually grew to 33, including singer Marvin Gaye, Motown Records vice-president Esther Edwards, and Little Caesars founder Mike Ilitch. Detroit attorney and philanthropist Louis Lee was named team president. Sonny Grandelius, a former star running back at Michigan State, was named general manager. However, even by WFL standards, the Wheels were severely undercapitalized. The owners didn't appear to make an initial capital investment; instead, team expenses were paid out-of-pocket as they arose. They initially refused to spend more than $10,000 per player, and most of their draft picks were unwilling to play under such conditions; the Wheels signed only three of their 33 draft picks, forcing them to hold open tryouts. None of the men who tried out made the team.
