The National Football League has adopted a measure that denies prospective owners the right to make substantial changes in a franchise before the league approves the new ownership.

The Dallas Morning News reported that some officials are calling the measure “The Jerry Jones Rule,” in honor of the new Dallas Cowboy owner who purchased the team from H.R. (Bum) Bright on Feb. 25 and immediately made sweeping changes before receiving league approval on April 18.
