I can't say for certain whether or not Rich is behind Rumballs near the Summit. There is a Rumballs Sports Bar in Louisville, but could not say anything about the association. After opening the first Outback outside of Florida with Steve back in the 1980's (post Chi Chi's and their death because of tainted green onions), Rich went on to open several more Outbacks in Louisville; becoming Proprietor @ Fern Vally Rd for a term. Later on, he left and opened the Beef O Brady's. I know there are several around Louisville, and outside too, plus they also run on a franchise basis. Rich worked at the BoB in Middletown for as long as I could recall, then last I heard, was going to settle down. I'm not sure he'd take on another venture if still associated with BoB, but may be incorrect. The Summit location wasn't very prosperous and THINK they were on the down hill long before they actually stopped.
Then again, knowing Rich, anything is possible.
