Overview
- Roger Goodell, speaking Tuesday at the NFL’s annual meeting in Phoenix, said Steve, Laurie, and Jonathan Tisch are no longer owners and that the league has not found a personal conduct violation at this stage.
- The family’s remaining 45% stake was shifted to trusts for their children as part of estate planning, a move the NFL approved as required for any change in club ownership.
- Despite the equity transfer, the Giants list Steve Tisch as executive vice president and chair of the board, Laurie Tisch as a board director, and Jonathan Tisch as treasurer and board director.
- The league’s review followed DOJ records released January 30 that named Steve Tisch 440 times and reporting that highlighted email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein about adult women.
- The NFL says it is still gathering facts, and coverage notes the transfer eases league pressure yet leaves reputational and governance questions for the Giants.
