Want To Own Part Of The Steelers?
The Rooney’s are the family who owns the Steelers and Art Rooney II is the president. He announced that they are currently seeking investors to buy out his father’s (Dan Rooney), brother’s shares of the franchise that would separate the family’s gaming interest and satisfy the NFL’s rules regarding ownership equity.
They go on to say that all potential investors must first be approved by the NFL, and appear before the NFL’s financial committee next week. They are not saying who the potential investors could be but said “One of the names is very recognizable.”
If the name is in fact very recognizable, it leads me to wonder. Is having a big celebrity face on a franchise a good thing? Does, for example, having Mark Cuban around help or hurt? Thoughts?
