    Steve Young: What private equity could do for the NFL
    May 16 2024
    In his more than 15 years in pro football, NFL quarterback Steve Young made his name on the field as one of the most efficient passers of all time. But after his retirement, he turned his career to private equity, co-founding the firm HGGC in 2007. Now, Young is watching the recent surge in private equity investments in sports teams, and making the case for private equity buyers in the NFL.

Plus: Dan Primack gives us the big picture on private equity and pro sports, and why it matters.
