Condoleezza Rice Becomes A Minority Owner Of The Broncos

After the Broncos' sale failed to deliver the league's first black player, Condoleezza Rice became a minority owner of the team.

Rice will be a part of the ownership group that purchased the team.

The team wouldn't say how much Rice's stake and financial contribution was.

Black players make up 70% of the league's players but there are no Black principals in the league.

Rice's father was a football coach. She was a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee for three years. Rice said she didn't interview for the head coaching position with the Cleveland Browns.

Big Number

A total of $4.75 billion. It was the largest sum ever paid for an American sports franchise. According to Forbes, he is the 21st wealthiest person in the world.

Surprising Fact

Bush sold his stake in the Texas Rangers two years before he became president.

The Broncos sale will lift the value of other teams.

Condoleezza Rice wrote a book about her journey from her coach's daughter to the college football playoff selection committee.
