“Kim is not coming back” Unnamed Pegula family associate provides heartbreaking update about ailing owner’s role in $3,700,000,000 franchise

The Pegula family owns the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres, but recently, the 50-50 agreement between Terry Pegula and Kim Pegula has been broken, according to The Athletic: Terry has filed a petition to deem his wife incapacitated and to be made her guardian, which was confirmed by a judge.

As soon as Terry got full ownership of the franchise, he transferred a small amount of equity to one of his daughters, Laura. She represented the Buffalo Bills during the league owners’ meeting in March, and received equity shortly after to “satisfy a league policy that aids in succession planning”.The owner suffered a cardiac arrest a few years ago, and while she survived, one of the consequences of the brain damage caused by the lack of oxygen was aphasia, which led to significant memory issues. But perhaps the most telling part of the article was the source close to the Pegula family’ brief statement to The Athletic about Kim’s condition: “Kim’s not coming back”.
