What happened: Khosla moved to the United States from India that year and began following the league. His family’s purchase is expected to close in early September.
Why it matters: Khosla said the defending champions should keep winning and pursue another Super Bowl. That sets an immediate competitive benchmark for the incoming ownership group.
By the numbers: The $9.612 billion price exceeds the previous NFL 05 billion by $3.562 billion.
What to watch: Watch for the transaction’s formal closing and the new ownership group’s first operational priorities.
