San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio, with initial charges of "engaging in prostitution" reduced to disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools. On August 24, he pled no contest to both misdemeanor charges. The NFL has stated the situation will be reviewed under its personal conduct policy, which can lead to disciplinary action including suspension or fines. The league has the authority to compel an owner to sell, but this has never been executed in practice despite similar past incidents prompting voluntary sales.
