It's coming.

The Board of Governors are happening today.

And Bettman, I guess, said, Pierre Lebrun tweeting out, that they've agreed to a $3.5 billion expansion fee.

If they go ahead with either Houston or Austin, and it's happening, there's one family, the Friedkin family, I guess, in Texas, that basically they're going to get to pick their poison, Houston or Austin.

And it sounds as if they're only going to go with a 33rd team and then wait a couple more years and then add a 34th to balance out the league.

Well, I mean, Bettman I don't think is going to leave until he's got 34 teams.

They're going to pump $7 billion into the owner's pockets.

But it's going to be two more likely southern markets.

Another tax-free state.

Well, I mean, Atlanta, it appears as if they're at least intrigued by that.

I don't know the tax situation in Georgia.

But it's a southern state.

Houston, though.

Austin, Texas.

I don't know.

I understand it's a business, and I get it if you're one of the other owners and you're just looking for a quick whatever it is, $30 million or something.

I understand why you might vote yes on this, but it's not necessarily in the league.

The product is wide open to begin with.

There's diluted.

There's a lot of teams that just don't have a lot of good players.
