The NFL is toast***

Wish he wouldn’t publicize my offer like that.
Glad you limited the offer to $14,999,999,880 to make sure your $10/mo NIL gift was still funded
Now worth 6 billion plus. Decent ROI.
If someone is offering $15B for the Dolphins, you would have to think the Cowboys are worth more.
Roughly the GDP of Honduras. …..no sarkasterisks.
There’s a lot more money in Miami than Honduras…no sarkasterisks.
If Miami is "worth" $15B I'd say Dallas is worth at least $20B. Dallas has seemed to be the most valuable franchise in all of pro sports in the US.
When I see that an NFL franchise is worth this kind of money because of it's income producing potential for the owner it makes it even more absurd to me that college football fans are having to pay their players themselves........with no retun on their money. I know the income from a college football program is not in any way comparable to that of an NFL team but there's still just something wrong with this picture.
I agree with your premise. There should be more internal money spent on players. The idea that it takes a team of squeegee men at college programs going out and trying to clean as many windshields as they can to panhandle for additional funds is off-putting to me. However the NFL with PSLs and ticket prices is not exactly giving their fans any sort of discount. At least it is a more direct you pay me this to get that.
I will say our athletic department is better than it used to be. There was a time at the end of Templeton when I hated to visit campus. Larry would only talk to the people with deep pockets but the others were obligated to hit you up for spare change. People I knew from my days there would apologize and say "I am sorry but I have to ask...". It was not a good look. The past decade or two that has stopped and you are made to feel welcomed. It is a much softer approach.

I'm not sure it is worth this kind of money because of its income producing potential. Supposedly Dallas is the most profitable franchise and has around $630M of operating income. Not sure a multiple of operating income is a good valuation metric for a sports franchise, but if you put a high multiple on it, you're getting to $4B.
I think it's worth so much money because it's a prestigious thing to own and a relatively safe thing to own. If they pay $15B, it will be a terrible return unless and until they sell it.
Where do you think they stole it from? It wasn't just Cuba.
As much as I hate dallas and jerrah, your ratio is too low.
The day you hear an entire NFL franchise was sold, in whole, not part, will be a new day. I don't think we will live to see it and it will probably be the Saudis.
Saints will likely have a new owner fairly soon. Gayle is 80 and has no heirs, and she has it in her will for team president Dennis Lauscha to sell them and Pelicans to new ownership group based in NOLA. Proceeds will go to what amounts to a sovereign wealth fund for the city.
Means the Saints will likely be first Saudi owned team, unfortunately and ironically.
Qatari’s already own the Washington Wizards and Capitals.
Btw, this is 1 of 2 Owners that need to GTFO of their *** out the way.
