Virginia McCaskey, who inherited the Chicago Bears from her father, George Halas, but avoided the spotlight during four-plus decades as principal owner, has died

George Halas founded the Chicago Bears in 1920, and daughter Virginia McCaskey remained the team's primary owner until her death Thursday, at age 102. What happens now?

The Bears have long been a family-owned business, and McCaskey's death on Thursday will not change that. George McCaskey, Virginia's son and the grandson of "Papa Bear" Halas, has been the team's chairman since 2011 and will remain in that position for the foreseeable future.
