I apologize if the points I was trying to make weren't clear. The two things are separate issues, I'm by no means saying the deferring of compensation is corrupt. I'm quite fine with how the deal was structured. The second point I made was more along the lines of owners of smaller market teams who feel like they couldn't afford a deal such as this, and such would raise this issue during the next CBA negotiation.

To my first point, I'm just a firm believer that too much money has permeated the sport. I fully understand that owning a team is a business, you want to maximize your profit. But these gaudy numbers that surround everything related to professional sports nowadays is pretty ridiculous.
