Well, he already had significant business interests. He handed the management of them off. I would imagine he could have handed off an NFL ownership as well.
He could have had a good administrator in charge. He probably would have anyway. The idea he’d be the hands on manager with all his other interests, was not assured.
It’s not a certainty than an NFL ownership would have blocked his next move into politics.
It could have. Maybe not. We’ll never know now.
