NFL owners have voted in approval of a measure to allow private equity funds to buy stakes in teams. Judy Battista explains why this change was made and breaks down what to expect next.
Owners are going to cash out before the liability of player injuries comes due. That is what I see here.
This may - and big guess here - may be good for the league. Ownership that would previously passed down through inheritance can now be sold off to structured businesses.
Also, if a toxic owner is booted out of the league the path to financial stewardship is now a lot more open, rather than what I’d assume to be one of the most gated of circles it would take to be an owner currently.
