So yeah, I think we're gonna have way less teams right to the cap. matched

Maybe not this year coming up, but you know, by by by the time we get to a hundred and thirty matched

and a half million. matched

I think we'll see a lot of teams in the nineties, low hundreds. matched

I I think definitely there's concern in the short term, but i g we're talking now three years out, right? matched

And we're talking about the the business which goes out many years. matched

I I would be surprised if, you know, two, three years from now the Canadian if there is a big spike from from tariffs like you would hope uh and pray that that's all worked through um within a couple of years. matched

The other thing is uh we have a new Canadian T V rights deal, right? matched

So any loss that matched

we might see from the Canadian dollar getting weaker. matched

It's gonna be more than made up for by a new Canadian um TV deal, which obviously doesn't just go with the Canadian teams, but still the Canadian teams get a piece of that pie like everybody else. matched

So um yeah, I mean it's certainly uh it would be better for the league business if the Canadian dollar was stronger, but um I think matched

If there is an impact it would be short term and I would be very surprised if that has a major impact, um, you know, in the second or even especially out into the third year. matched

And the other piece to keep in mind, like why why it's increasing so much is that, you know, w it was already been reported last year, um, the players are actually gonna get a r uh extra payment on top of their salary because the r they're they're rec currently based on their salaries matched

the the they would receive less than fifty percent, right? matched

So they need to get uh an extra check on top of that. matched

And for this year, they've already stopped escrow with holdings part way through the year. matched

So the the salary cap is just way too low compared to where league revenues are. matched

So we have this big gap in runway, and obviously we don't know the projections that they used to come up with this, but I would expect that the league gave themselves the buffer so that you know if if the week matched

If there's um if some other issues like like there's still the these caps still make sense where league revenues would go, which also means that there's could be a whole bunch of upside. matched
