The Dolphins are now facing even more turmoil at the ownership level.
Embattled owner Stephen Ross has reportedly had a change of heart from his long-term plan to hand over the reins to the team’s current vice chairman, Bruce Beal.
He will now pass along ownership to his daughter, Jennifer Ross, according to Sports Business Journal.
The two reportedly have severed their relationship. The news, however, is not directly related to a recent investigation that found the Dolphins committed tampering violations “of unprecedented scope and severity” against three teams.
The investigation did not find that Ross had encouraged tanking — an allegation made in a racial discrimination lawsuit by former coach Brian Flores.
But Ross was fined $1.5 million and suspended until the middle of October. Beal was fined $500,000 and prohibited from attending league meetings. The team also lost two draft picks.
