Jay Anthony Precourt Jr.[2] (born {{circa}} 1969–70) is an American investor and sports team owner. He is the CEO of Precourt Sports Ventures, a group that owns future Major League Soccer club Austin FC and formerly owned the Columbus Crew SC. He is also a managing partner of Precourt Capital Management, a private investment management firm based in San Francisco, California.

Education and career

Precourt grew up in San Francisco, California,[3] and graduated from Pepperdine University with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College with a Master of Business Administration.[4] He entered the corporate finance business with stints at Merrill Lynch, Alex. Brown & Sons, and WHV Investment Management.[5] He founded his own private equity firm, Precourt Capital Management, in 2008, focusing on the energy sector.[4][5]

MLS ownership

Precourt, who had a stated interest in soccer, formed Precourt Sports Ventures LLC in 2012 and looked to invest in Major League Soccer.[6] The firm bought the Columbus Crew SC from Clark Hunt for $68 million, then a record for a MLS franchise.[3][7] At the first Crew match he attended, several months before the sale was finalized, the scoreboard at Mapfre Stadium caught fire and delayed kickoff for hours.[6][8] Under Precourt's ownership, the Crew hired Gregg Berhalter as its manager and first sporting director;[9] and unveiled an updated brand identity that included a new logo and name with the suffix "SC".[10]

On October 17, 2017, Precourt Sports Ventures announced that it was considering moving the franchise in 2019 to Austin, Texas.[11] The move came as a surprise to Columbus leaders and fans.[12] After offering an apology on Twitter,[13] Precourt was the focus of anger from the team's supporters, culminating in the establishment of the Save the Crew movement.[14]

In December 2018, Precourt Sports Ventures announced they had negotiated an agreement with the City of Austin to build a $225 million stadium on public land at 10414 McKalla Place,[15] following an evaluation of several other city-owned properties.[16] Construction is expected to begin in 2019 and the stadium is expected to be ready in the spring of 2021.[17]

On January 1, 2019, ownership of Crew SC was preliminarily transferred from Precourt Sports Ventures to a group composed of Dee and Jimmy Haslam and Dr. Pete Edwards, who pledged to keep the Crew in Columbus and build a new stadium in downtown Columbus.[18] Austin FC was officially announced as the 27th MLS franchise on January 15, 2019 and is set to begin play in 2021.[19]

Personal life

Precourt is a native of San Francisco, California,[3] and he lives with his wife Agatha and three children.[6] His father is Jay Precourt, a former oil executive.[2][4] He owns a home in Austin, Texas.[19]
