Pat Bowlen's Daughter Brittany to Seek Controlling Ownership of Broncos One Day

Brittany Bowlen has publicly stated she is seeking the controlling stake in the Denver Broncos one day, according to Arnie Stapleton of the Associated Press and Troy Renck of Denver7:

Owner Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer's disease, and daughter Brittany, 28, expressed her ambitions Saturday night (h/t the Associated Press):

"Right now, the Denver Broncos have an owner. It's my father. Unfortunately, he can't be involved in the day-to-day of the team. I do have ambitions and goals to one day becoming the controlling owner of the Denver Broncos. And I'll keep working toward those goals. I'm not there yet, but I really believe I can get there."

According to the AP, Bowlen "received her master's degree in business administration from Duke in May after graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in finance; then working for two years at NFL headquarters and a year with the Broncos as a business analyst."

Brittany Bowlen is one of seven children of Pat Bowlen. Her sister, Beth Bowlen Wallace, said in June that she was also interested in becoming the team's principal owner. The Broncos and the Pat Bowlen Trust issued a public statement suggesting that she wasn't in her father's plans for the future of the organization, however (h/t Eric Ruble of KDVR.com):

"The statements issued by Beth Bowlen Wallace today are contrary to Pat Bowlen's longstanding succession plan that he created over many years of careful consideration. Pat did not designate Beth as a trustee or appoint her to a leadership position, nor did he instruct the trustees to specifically mentor her. He made it clear that his children were not automatically entitled to a role with the team and that they would have to earn that opportunity through their accomplishments, qualifications and character."

The Broncos are currently being run by the Pat Bowlen Trust, which was founded in 2014 and includes team president Joe Ellis, attorney Mary Kelly and general counsel Rich Slivka. The trust requires either five years of experience working for the Broncos or for the NFL in general. Brittany Bowlen is currently working for the consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

"I think it's really important that I get experience outside of the football industry," she said. "And I think that working at McKinsey & Company is going to give me that experience."
