NFL ownership growing increasingly complicated

ATVZ400 · Jul 16, 2008

We should have seen things like this coming in light of Wayne Huizenga's sale of the Dolphins in February. Huizenga bailed out the Robbie family years ago and ended up with the Dolphins and the stadium. But he's 70 and decided it's time for a change. After hiring Bill Parcells to run the football operations, he continued a plan to bring in a minority investor and found Stephen Ross, a New York real estate developer.

Though Huizenga promised Parcells he'd stay as majority owner through Parcells' four-year contract, Huizenga sold 50 percent of the Dolphins and the stadium for $550 million. As far as the sale, Ross could take over as early as 2009 if Huizenga decides to step aside as the majority partner. Tuna got blindsided by that one, but the story illustrates that in ownership sales, promises can change.
