Theo is now working for a Dallas-based private equity firm that specializes in taking minority stakes in sports teams. He sure seems to be on the path toward team ownership.

Understood and believe that Theo could be a great owner but could imagine Ricketts structuring deal which could handcuff new ownership. e.g. TV rights either excluded from deal or locked in at below market rates for X years.
Finally, rumor mill has it that Theo has completed his time in Chicago so we shouldn’t hold out expectations

Oh, I'm sure the Ricketts will own the team for multiple generations and my grandkids will be bitching about whichever Ricketts progeny is at the helm in 50 years.

According to Athletic, 2 year deal for $18 MM with team option for 3rd for another $8 MM.
