NFL Owners Approve Record $9.6 Billion Sale of Seattle Seahawks to Vinod Khosla
NFL owners unanimously approved the sale of the Seattle Seahawks to Indian-origin venture capitalist Vinod Khosla and his family for a record $9.612 billion, marking the highest franchise sale in NFL history and the second-largest in North American sports. The sale, following the wishes of late owner Paul Allen, requires Khosla to divest his minority stake in the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks, reigning Super Bowl champions, were officially sold after approval at a special meeting in Atlanta.
