What happened: Neeru Khosla will serve as the Seattle Seahawks controlling owner, per the memo the NFL sent today to all 32 teams, as her husband Vinod Khosla's group completes its record $9.612 billion purchase of the franchise.

Why it matters: Record sale prices have never correlated with instant contention around the league, and Seattle's on field questions do not disappear because the ownership group changed. The Seahawks still have to answer them with a roster, not a purchase agreement.
