You've got, at the moment, you've got a 14-year licence.
It goes out to 2041, I think, so 14-year licence.
You're going to spend 200 million Australian to buy a business that turns over 10 to 15 million and makes a profit of 1 to 1.5 million and gets your money back in 14 years.
It doesn't add up, Gerard.
They're not worth that much.
The only way they're worth that much is if it's a collector's item and someone else is going to come along and buy it from you at an inflated price.
But if you're paying...
130 US, 200 million Australian.
My God, that's a lot of money.
We throw the millions around these days as though they're nothing, but when you've got to stack them up $100 at a time, it's still a lot of money.
Well, the first one, Gerard, is to change the structure of the BBL.
Now, at the moment, it's tucked away in Cricket Australia's operations.
There's staff employed by Cricket Australia run the BBL.
Cricket Australia sells the media rights as part of its package and sells the major sponsorships.
And the states have a licence to run the teams and they run the games.
Now, if you bring in...
So Cricket Australia is a not-for-profit, company limited by guarantee, tax-exempt organisation, as are all of the sporting bodies in Australia, or nearly all of them.
If you bring in a for-profit partner, so if you sell a team to, and we've heard about Indian tech tycoons and IPL owners, that sort of thing, it might not be that.
It might be some other commercial entity.
If you bring in a for-profit entity, you can't operate under that not-for-profit status, so you need to set up a new league.
