This paper has been printing the Colts sale as a weighing, not a close. Monday has no closed deal in fetched copy. A weighing is not a sold franchise. Silence from the league office is not a transfer.
Print weighing. Do not print sold. Leave a named close to the edition that owns a close. No Monday purchase agreement is in the stack.
No Monday purchase agreement is in league copy, so weighing remains the Colts word and silence is not a transfer.
A weighing is still a weighing. Monday recap that treats league silence as a sold Colts is a feed, not a close.
No purchase agreement is in Monday's league stack. The Sports Business Journal's long game on Carlie Irsay-Gordon shaping the franchise remains the last named word; family control is the status quo until a buyer is named.
Franchise sales at NFL valuations take months of banking and owners' votes; silence is the normal state of an ongoing process. Irsay-Gordon's public shaping of the club reads as succession management, not a for-sale sign. Buyers emerge by announcement.
NFL valuations take months of banking and owners' votes. Silence is the normal state. Buyers emerge by announcement.
Indianapolis still has no posted term sheet this desk can name. The Irsay family still controls the club on every public record. Sales of this size move through banks and then through other owners. None of that paper arrived.
Monday named no term sheet. None of that paper arrived. Silence is the normal state.
