What You Need to Know
- The NFL officially voted to allow private equity investment in teams, the last major U.S. sports league to do so.
- The league allowed a small number of PE firms, after an interview process, to take minority investment positions in teams. But there are a lot of caveats.
While expected, the NFL's vote to allow for limited private equity investment in its increasingly valuable teams is still a testimony to how things have changed in sport and sports law in the last several years. And perhaps a nod to the NFL's market power in how it was able to handle the negotiations with private equity investors.
