ESPN - Steelers chairman Dan Rooney's four brothers have reportedly agreed to sell a controlling stake of the team to him and his son.

Patrick and Art Rooney Jr. confirmed the deal on Friday night.

"It's a good deal. I'm happy for Dan. I'm happy for the rest of the family. I think young Art, Dan's son, will do a fine job," Patrick Rooney said. "I think we're doing the right thing."

Each brother owns 16 percent of the team, adding up to 80 percent, with another Pittsburgh family, the McGinleys, owning 20 percent. [READ]
