No reason an owners kid can't be on his team, the owner just has to hire staff to run the team and stay out of it.

A friend of mine works at a news station in Flint, hasn't gotten the "official" stamp yet, as he says it's now a race to see which news station gets the "official" stamp, but:
"The owner bought the team so his son could play in the OHL because he knew he wasn't talented enough to make it on his own. He then drafted his son and two of his friends on the OHL draft. Head coach John Gruden was forced to keep him on the roster but Gruden wouldn't play him. So tonight, Gruden was fired."
