The Spurs' majority owner is Peter Holt, managing partner of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, which also operates the team's arena, the Frost Bank Center. Last May, Viera bought a 5% stake in the Spurs for an undisclosed enterprise value. Partial team owners can get major discounts when they buy small pieces of teams that give them less control over decisions. Businessman Paul Viera is increasing his stake in the San Antonio Spurs from 5% to 11%, CNBC has learned, as NBA valuations climb and make teams more attractive assets for investors. NBA teams are hot assets thanks in large part to the league's new $76 billion, 11-year media deal.

NFL owners voted Tuesday to allow private equity firms to take a maximum 10% stake in teams. The league has never allowed private equity investment before. No other league takes a percentage of the so-called carry — the percentage of a fund's investment profits that managers typically receive as compensation — for all private equity firms. The NFL has informally told investment firms that if they make a return on an investment, it wants a portion of the profits to be returned to the league. It was unclear if the NFL's plans to take a piece of profits would deter future investment from private equity.

ORLANDO, Fla. — As rumors swirl over whether Saks Fifth Avenue will acquire Neiman Marcus, Neiman's CEO told CNBC there's "no need" to sell the business, adding it's unlikely to change hands in the next five years. Some people close to the companies have told CNBC a merger between the two is inevitable, and is a matter of when, not if. But Neiman's CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck said there is currently "no process to sell the company." Eventually, those owners will seek to offload the business, but van Raemdonck said it won't be any time soon. They have not yet received an offer that was large or attractive enough to move the needle, a source familiar with the matter previously told CNBC.

General Motors said it would continue to "reward customers for their loyalty to our brands." Last month, Goldman beat estimates for third-quarter profit but said its ill-fated foray into consumer banking continued to weigh. Growing investor skepticism over the business has prompted CEO David Solomon to shift the firm's focus back to its traditional strengths - investment banking and trading.

This comes as deep-pocketed investors — from top U.S. private equity and venture capital firms to global rivals like sovereign wealth funds — have intensified competition. Meanwhile, more than one-third of the clubs in the so-called "Big Five" leagues in Europe are backed by U.S. investors, including private equity and venture capital firms. "These recent transactions have set a precedent in terms of club valuation but also prompted many owners to consider selling to [private equity]," according to an analyst report from PitchBook. Some firms, like Sixth Street Partners, have found different outlets into taking a stake in European soccer, particularly in Spain's LaLiga. The shift is happening as soccer clubs have been looking for fresh capital following the distress stemming from the earlier days of the Covid pandemic.

Florida State University has been working with JPMorgan as it explores options to bring in funding from institutional investors, according to a person familiar with the matter. The discussions have been ongoing in recent months, and Sixth Street Partners has expressed interest as an investor, the person said. The discussions with potential equity investors are not tied to FSU's potential push to leave the conference, according to the person familiar with the matter. Sportico earlier reported that FSU was working with JPMorgan and that Sixth Street was part of the discussions. "That effort fell apart, mainly because it was a challenge to mesh private investors with the potential media rights for public schools," said sports media consultant Lee Berke.

CNN —Buybuy Baby will close all of its stores as part of its parent company Bed Bath & Beyond’s ongoing bankruptcy liquidation. The deal did not include the chain’s 120 physical retail stores.

The acquisition also did not include Bed Bath & Beyond’s brick-and-mortar stores, which have closed. In a March 2022 letter, former Bed Bath & Beyond activist investor Ryan Cohen said he believed Buybuy Baby was “much more valuable than the Company’s entire market capitalization today.”
