But, it's become an arms race right now and isn't sustainable.
These deep pocket donors are unlikely to pay year over year with the $ going up each year & only one team wins the championship.
Even the Saudis have turned down the faucet for the various sportswashing activities and they barely have a bottom to their pockets.
Some regulation seems in order. I don't know what it will look like, but there are people paid to figure these things out.
They want to pay me; I think I could come up with something workable.
