The ruthlessness of making money will be the first thing people talk about for obvious reasons and that's all correct. But even in terms of the on-field product, I could see a world where if this happens, it will lead football into a baseball direction where a lot of the decision makers aren't football guys but businessmen. Leaning very much into analytics, GMs making decisions over coaches, etc... all the things you're seeing in baseball where the game is run by businessmen with ruthless efficiency. It'd be interesting to see how that played out.
