The owners dug themselves into a hole by using exorbitant expansion franchise fees to help out the existing teams make budget.

In real life, that's called a Ponzi scheme and lands you in the joint.

Look who owns the Original 6---Molsons, Bill Wirtz, Cablevision, the cheapskate effin' Jacobs brothers, among others. Some of the deepest pockets in professional sports.
