I think that all the prior expansion rules will be tossed out the window. Hard to tell what it would look like. The landscape has changed a lot in the last 15 years.

I wonder if there will be an effort to make the expansion teams more competitive off the hop. They're paying $500 million this time around, not $75 million.
