That is some interesting stuff there. Thanks for posting this. As it sounds, when they raised their prices on stuff for the stadiums/teams, most of the funding went back into the owners.
One of the things they dont discuss in that article is the fluxuation of personnel thru the season. Those that come in for tryouts, I dont think, do it on their own. They have to be paid for working out and showing what they can do I would think.
