University of Oregon Board of Trustees member Connie Balmer is reportedly set to become part owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. Balmer’s husband, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, reportedly agreed to buy the National Basketball Association franchise Thursday for a $2 billion.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver handed out a lifetime ban to former Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling on April 29 following Sterling’s controversial comments towards African Americans. Sterling agreed to let his wife, Shelly, pursue a sale of the team last week and reports surfaced Thursday afternoon that she had agreed to sell the team to the Ballmers.

Steve’s net worth is $21 billion, according to Forbes.

If the NBA’s owners approve of the sale of the Clippers to the Ballmers, the $2 billion deal would be the highest paid for an NBA franchise in league history. The next highest is the $550 million paid earlier this month for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Connie grew up in Oregon City and graduated from the UO with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1984.
