Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks are set to be sold to the Khosla family following the passing of owner Paul Allen, who had directed the sale of his assets for philanthropic causes.
- Vinod Khosla must divest his 3.1% stake in the San Francisco 49ers to comply with NFL rules and avoid conflicts of interest before the Seahawks sale is approved.
- The sale requires approval from at least 24 NFL owners in a special meeting scheduled for late August, with the new ownership expected to be in place by the start of the NFL season.
- Neeru Khosla, co-founder of the CK-12 Foundation and wife of Vinod Khosla, is designated as the controlling owner, with their son Neal Khosla expected to take a significant leadership role.
- No former Seahawks players are involved in the ownership group, and there is currently no indication that the new owners plan to relocate the team from Seattle.
