ASHBURN, Va. — Jason Wright, the first Black team president in NFL history, will no longer serve in that role and will leave the Washington Commanders after the season, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He'll serve as a senior adviser until his departure. Wright will continue to focus on securing naming rights for the stadium as well as helping in finding a new stadium site.

But there will be an immediate search for a new president, led by majority owner Josh Harris and Tad Brown, the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.

Former owner Dan Snyder hired Wright in August 2020, based in large part on the recommendation of the league, per multiple sources.

Why the wide-open Big 12 should be even wilder than ever this season - ESPN

We careen toward the fall of 2024 with college football in a state of epic transition. Thanks to conference realignment — and a total lack of centralized leadership — most of the sport's big brands now reside in just two conferences, the Big Ten and SEC. They threw their weight around to assure a dramatic share of future College Football Playoff money, and they convinced smaller conferences to take on a disproportionate share of settlement-related back payments, assuring they will hog an even larger percentage of money moving forward (when they already had the most). Two other power conferences, the ACC and Big 12, are in an odd state, clearly ahead of the rest of the pack but far behind the Power 2 from a revenue standpoint. The «rich get richer» vibes are hard to ignore.
