What a story and what a guy!
Captain America laid the groundwork for the @dallascowboys to get the title of America's Team!
When I'm in my eighties, I hope the investors in the @CoFLToros get to read a similar story! #VamosToros
Roger Staubach won the Heisman, served in Vietnam, won two Super Bowls, and made about $25,000 as an NFL rookie.
Thirty nine years after that rookie season, he sold his company for $613 million.
And here's the part almost nobody knows.
By the time he sold it, he only owned 12 percent of it.
Start at the beginning.
Staubach won the Heisman at Navy in 1963. Then he honored his full military commitment, including a tour in Vietnam, before he ever played a down of professional football.
He joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969 as a 27 year old rookie. Salary: $25,000.
By the end of his career in 1979, after two Super Bowl wins, five Super Bowl appearances and an MVP, he was making around $160,000 a year.
That's the whole football fortune. Total NFL earnings estimated around $600,000.
So starting in 1970, after his rookie season, he got an offseason job.
A Naval Academy friend connected him to Henry S. Miller Co., a big commercial real estate firm in Texas. He started in the insurance division and talked them into letting him work the real estate side.
His words: "I worked every offseason until I decided that I wanted to make real estate a future for me, outside of football."
Every single offseason. For a decade. While quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys.
He retired from football in 1980 and formed The Staubach Company in 1982.
His idea was unfashionable at the time. Everybody in commercial real estate represented landlords. Staubach decided to represent TENANTS, the people looking for space, whose interests nobody was protecting.
That's now standard practice across the industry. It's called tenant representation. He essentially built the category.
By 2008 the company had around 50 offices in North America and over 1,100 employees, and a 52 percent market share in Dallas.
That June, JLL bought it for $613 million.
Now the equity thing.
Over the years Staubach had been giving stock away to his own people. More than 300 employees held equity in the firm.
By the time of the sale he personally owned 12 percent.
He could have kept it all. Instead, when the deal closed, hundreds of longtime staffers got life changing payouts.
His own read on it is that the company only reached that valuation because those people stayed and worked like owners, which they were.
He stayed on as executive chairman of JLL's Americas division until he retired in 2018, at one point earning around $12 million a year, which made him the highest paid retired NFL player in America.
He's now in his eighties, worth several hundred million dollars.
A guy who made $25,000 as a rookie because he spent his twenties in the Navy instead of the NFL.
He built the thing on Tuesdays in the offseason, and then gave most of it away before he sold it.

It's beyond amazing to think that we are now 130+ investors strong, and that a select, dedicated few would give their time and energy to help us bring pro football back to San Antonio!
This is Puro San Antonio and what makes the @CoFLToros different!

Did you know that every CoFL team has a Fan Advisory Board made up of the biggest WeFunder owners, who meet with team ownership to give suggestions, input, and help make some team decisions!
Here is our Fan Advisory Board! They were a huge help in gameday decisions and helping us see what we could change for the better each week throughout season 1!
Tonight for our managing partners board meeting, the Fan Advisory Group is invited to join and be a part of the action!

This is pretty interesting to me because we broadcast @CoFLToros games on YouTube, and while we are discussing possibly changing broadcasting for 2027, big leagues like the #NBA are considering using @YouTube as well 🧐
#VamosToros
YouTube is in advanced talks with the league to become the centralized streaming hub for local team broadcasts starting in the 2027-28 season.
The league wants at least 25 teams on board in Year 1 and could see as many as 29 join, leaving out only Toronto because of their Canadian rights setup. If nearly all the teams buy in, the valuation could hit around $1.2 billion, or roughly $850 million if it settles closer to the 25-team mark.
Per multiple reports and insiders, YouTube is the clear frontrunner right now thanks to strong existing ties and a former NBA exec on their side, though DAZN is waiting in the wings alongside some interest from ESPN and Amazon. Some clarity is expected by this fall, and after all the hints Adam Silver has dropped about fixing local broadcasts, this could completely change how fans watch teams on a nightly basis.
When the San Antonio Toros scored 71 points 🐂‼️

This is what we mean when we say "Puro San Antonio," and it shows the value of local community ownership!
