NFL Owners to Vote on Private Equity Investment Rule

Special meeting on August 27 will determine if institutional investors can own stakes in teams.

The NFL is the last major U.S. sports league to consider private equity ownership.
Owners will discuss allowing up to 10% of a team to be owned by private equity firms.
A special committee has been evaluating the proposal for over a year.
The move could increase franchise values and broaden the pool of potential buyers.
Final approval requires a vote from at least 24 of the 32 team owners.
