Please explain the Barstool and Penn deal


I don't understand this situation and am looking to educate myself on how this works.

So Penn bought Barstool for $500M. Then they sell Barstool for just $1? How does this make sense? Was there no better offer than $1?

Is this a common situation? Or has something like this ever happened before?

Was there funny business going on? Was it just a terrible deal by Penn? Or is it more complicated than that?
