Well, then they would be unable to pay either team the full $100m. Not sure what that achieves.
What I would hope to achieve is this:
- MASN goes bankrupt, and
- thus, MASN no longer owns the Nats TV rights, and
- - Perhaps the Nats can buy their own TV rights in the Chapter 11 liquidation, and
- - - Nats own their TV rights and make their own fair market deal without any other encumbrances.
