One thing to remember is Mark isn't a sole owner or even majority owner. He's just the controlling(?) Owner. I don't remember his percent, but I thought it was a low as in the 20s or as high as the 40s. Now let's pretend that 66 million is their pure profit from last year, how does that get divided? Does the team get a chunk for a "rainy day" fund with the rest split based on ownership percentages? Do they just split all of it? Does the "team" keep it with the owners getting a payout some other way? I don't know but it seems like the assumption is the owners split it. We know Mark is all in on being a fan of the team and wanting a winner, but what about the minority owners? Are they in it just for the money and and only care about winning so far as it increases profits, or do they want the fan side of winning too? If Mark is the only one that wants to go for it, then maybe he can use 15-30 million of that theoretical 66 to pump up the payroll.
