Looks like the days of 99% of ownership changes happening through death are over...

Two sales in one day! I've seen a few others in my league's 21-year history, about as many or more than have occurred through owner death. Nice to see OOTP 17 has changed it up and added a bit of variety for ownership changes. "Rich Essohbee has died, his son Rich Essohbee, Jr. will take over" was getting kind of old.

Also, I guess you could say that the Knights were bought with...Brewster's millions. If only his first name was Monty.

I haven't see this yet in my games. I had wondered why it wouldn't occur so nice to see that they've included it.

So Death is 0-for-2. So what. Small sample size.

No there have been several franchise owner changes (around a dozen) in the 21-year history of my league, and there have been, IIRC, something like 7 deaths, 5 sales. So the added realism is there.
