A group of owners of NFL teams are examining the league's ownership rules so that a new group of people can have a chance to be a part of this select group.
According to reports from ESPN's Michael Rothstein, "One of the possibilities on the table: allowing institutional wealth, including private equity, to invest in NFL franchises, which the league has never permitted."
He explained that the revenue gained from selling minority stakes "could free up cash for owners to pursue projects such as stadium renovations."
Many had believed that the NFL is controlled by a minority group of owners that have stablished rule propositions that determine the way the league is runed, but this new strategic plan explored by a group of unknown owners may soon change the perception on that.
Teams and league revenue have increased significant over the last decade with an extended schedule and more international games, something that will help expand the idea of extending invitations to many candidates.
There is no better time to be a part of the NFL
For this season, once again three games will be played in England, one in and one more in Brazil. There will be action on Christmas Day even though it will not be a Monday, Thursday or Friday game and team apparel sales are through the roof.
Last summer, Forbes estimated the Cincinnati Bengals to be the least valuable NFL team in the league, yet still their numbers were good. Their price tag was $3.5 billion, not to bad to be the 'worst'.
Just to put it in perspective, the last two ownership sales were both record-breaking transactions, with the Denver Broncos in 2022 and Washington Commanders in 2023. One can only imagine what could happen if the rules are more flexible for more people to be a part of ownerships groups.
